| The narrator reacts with confusion to this, but the detective explains that from the footprints at the crime scene he could tell that of the two men in the room, one was very tall: this was the Mr Vernet they had just met. The other had a limp, and from the skill which he eviscerated the prince, must have been a doctor. As the two get off the cab, the detective tips the man a florin, but finds it odd when he does not stop for another man at the corner. |
