In Silver Blaze, Holmes and Watson are on a train going to Exeter. | |
Holmes has been reading all that the papers have to say about the | |
disappearance of the horse, Silver Blaze. Apparently satisfied, he | |
thrusts the papers under the seat and comments to Watson: | |
“We are going well,” said he, looking out of the window, and glancing at | |
his watch. “Our rate at present is fifty-three and a half miles an | |
hour.” | |
“I have not observed the quarter-mile posts,” said I. | |
“Nor have I. But the telegraph posts upon this line are sixty yards | |
apart, and the calculation is a simple one. | |
