Holmes asked, “It seems to be a childish prank. Why do you think these stick figures are important?” Mr. Cubitt replied, “I don’t, but my wife does. Those little men are frightening her to death. I must know what they mean.” Holmes asked, “Could you kindly go over your story for me and my friend, Dr. Watson?”
Mr. Cubitt said, “Last year, I met a young American lady named Elsie Patrick in London. We quickly fell in love. One day, she told me that she had known unpleasant people in the past. She did not want to discuss them. Looking back, I should have asked about her past before. Nevertheless, we got married.” He continued, “Last week, I found those dancing figures on the window so I had them removed, but when I mentioned it to my wife, she became overwhelmed with panic and firmly insisted that we should not get rid of them. The next day, I found a piece of paper with the same message in my garden. When I showed it to Elsie, she turned pale and fainted. It was like she was trapped in a nightmare.”
