Answer:
Which lesson are you talking about?
Answer:
Peter Jones and Mr. Merryweather come into the story as it is nearing a climax. Jones is "the official police agent." He is from Scotland Yard. Mr. Merryweather is chairman of the bank directors. Watson describes him as:
Explanation:
long, thin, sad-faced man, with a very shiny hat and oppressively respectable frock-coat.
thought it as well to have Jones with us also. He is not a bad fellow, though an absolute imbecile in his profession. He has one positive virtue. He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone.
These two men are minor characters. Mr. Jones will serve to make an official arrest of John Clay when he emerges from his tunnel into the bank's strongroom. This ends the story neatly, because Holmes and Watson do not have to become involved in arresting Clay and taking him off to jail. Jones not only does all that, but he informs Clay that he has three more men waiting to apprehend his partner right outside the front door of Jabez Wilson's pawnshop.
