complete assurance that in ten years he would retire from government
employ and open that private and personal practice which it was his
ambition to establish.

been again occupied with routine labour on cases of darkness, doubt,
and crime, once more living only that he might resolve these
mysteries, with no personal interest at all outside his grim
occupation.
