geese for a Christmas present. So I planned to pick my
goose then, and hide my stone in it. I chose a bird and
thrust the stone down its throat. The stone passed
along its gullet and down into its crop. But the
creature flapped and struggled, and jumped out of
my hands. It fluttered among the other birds but,
I managed to find it a little later. When I cut open
the goose, my heart turned to water, for there

After all, Watson, Horner is in no danger.
The stone is with us, the case against
him must collapse. I suppose that I am
commuting a "felony, but it is just
possible that I am saving a soul. This
fellow will not go wrong again; he is
too terribly frightened. Send him
to gaol now, and you make him
gaol-bird for life. Besides, it is the
season of forgiveness.
Q1 sherlock talks to Watson about the mystery of the hat. what other mystery is introduced later in the scene?
