Read the excerpt from “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.”

“Good-evening. Sold out of geese, I see,” said Holmes, pointing at the bare slabs of marble. “Fine birds they were, too. Where did you get them from?”

To my surprise, the salesman was suddenly furious.

“Now, then, mister, what do you want? Let’s have it straight, now.”

“It’s straight enough. I want to know who sold you your geese.”

“Well then, I won’t tell you. So now!”

“Oh, it’s not important. But why are you so upset over such a small thing?”

“Upset? You’d be upset, too, if you were as pestered as I am. When I pay good money for a good goose, that should be the end of the business. But all day long, it’s been ‘Where are the geese?’ and ‘Who did you sell the geese to?’ and ‘What will you take for the geese?’ You’d think they were the only geese in the world, to hear the fuss that’s been made over them.”

“Well, I don’t know who else has been asking,” said Holmes casually. “If you won’t tell us, the bet is off, that’s all...."
