Once Holmes learns that police are guarding the front entrance, he says that nothing remains except silent waiting. Watson cannot change position in the black cellar, and his arms and legs gradually stiffen. His strained senses become so sharp that he can distinguish the breathing of each companion while time seems to stretch without end.

Suddenly my eyes caught the glint of a light.突然、私の目がきらりと光るものをとらえた。
