I had also every cause to think that there was some criminal secret in the matter - Sherlock Holmes.

Had I warned Hilton Cubitt about Abe Slaney on his second visit, might I perhaps have saved his life? Yet I did not know then of Slaney's evil reputation. My initial hypothesis was that, as with Henry Wood and Francis Moulton, here we had instead the case of a woman's preferred lover rather less dead than had previously been supposed.

Note by JHW: The cases Holmes refers to are respectively The Crooked Man and The Noble Bachelor.

I love this! Very clever, to weave in those prior cases to help explain why Holmes failed to act.

Oh, this is a great connection to make. Tying these cases together is brilliant work that explains so much. Excellent.
