"Suppose we ride over and take a look at the spot." He smiled at her little shudder of repugnance. "We haven't any Sherlock Holmes in this country, and maybe we need one. I'll have a try at it. Come oni"

that so ingenuous a man Lem Trowbridge might possess the analytical gift of the trained detective.
"You!" she said mockingly, when she had caught up with him. "You're as transparent as glass; not that it isn't nice to be that way, but still you
are. Besides, the rain we've had must have washed all tracks away."
"No doubt, but we'll have a look anyhow. It won't do any harm. Seriously, though, the ways of criminals have always Interested me. I'd rather
read a good detective story than any other sort of yarn."
(from Hidden Gold by Wilder Anthony)
