　　At 10 o’clock，I met Holmes outside his house as arranged.With him were two men.The police officer，Peter Jones，I already knew.He had often helped us out in our little adventures.The other gentleman was Mr.Merryweather.He was the manager of the bank we had seen that morning in Short Street.

　　When we got to the bank，Mr.Merryweather opened the door with a large key and we all crept silently down into the basement.The floor of the basement was covered in large square stones and the room was filled with wooden boxes.

　　“That’s our French gold.”explained Mr.Merryweather.“We borrowed it some months ago from a French bank to use in a business deal.As it happens，we didn’t need it after all，so it was never unpacked.It will be going back to France on Monday morning.”

　　“Please be quiet，”said Sherlock Holmes.“Hide behind the boxes and keep very still.We_shouldn’t_have_long_to_wait.”

　　In fact，we waited silently in the dark for over an hour，although it seemed a lot longer to me.Then suddenly，a strange light appeared under the stone floor.One of the stones began to move，letting more light in from below.Within moments，the stone was pushed on top of the next one，leaving a lightfilled hole in its place.A hand appeared out of the hole，then another hand.A few seconds later，Vincent Spaulding jumped out of the hole onto the basement floor.Then he turned and leaned over the hole.
