Answer:

In the spring of 1895, Sherlock Holmes and I had a visit from professor Hilton Soames. He was a tall, thin, man, and he was very upset.1

"Mr. Holmes,” he said, “Please give me a few hours of your time. Something has happened at the university and I don’t know what to do. Tomorrow we have an important examination. Today, at about three o'clock, the exam paper arrived from the printer. I had to read it carefully, to make sure everything was correct. At four-thirty I had not finished my work, but I had an appointment with a friend. I left the paper on my desk. When I returned an hour later, I was amazed to see a key in my door. I found out that the key in the door belonged to my servant2 Bannister. He had entered my room just after 4:30 to ask if I wanted tea, and he had left the key in the door by mistake when he came out. He is an honest3 man, and he made an honest mistake.4 In this case, however, the mistake has had terrible consequences. The exam papers were moved while I was out. If student has stolen information about the examination, it will have to be canceled, and many people will be upset.”
