printed for private circulation； and is said by experts to be the last
word upon the subject。 Some weeks afterwards I learned incidentally
that my friend spent a day at Windsor； whence he returned with a
remarkably fine emerald tie…pin。 When I asked him if he had bought it；
he answered that it was a present from a certain gracious lady in
whose interests he had once been fortunate enough to carry out a small
commission。 He said no more； but I fancy that I could guess at that
lady's august name； and I have little doubt that the emerald pin
will forever recall to my friend's memory the adventure of the
Bruce…Partington plans。
…THE END…
