"It was a singular sight which met our eyes. On the table stood a dark-lantern
with the shutter half open, throwing a brilliant beam of light upon the iron
safe, the door of which was ajar. Beside this table, on the wooden chair, sat
Dr. Grimesby Roylott clad in a long gray dressing-gown, his bare ankles
protruding beneath, and his feet thrust into red heelless Turkish slippers.
Across his lap lay the short stock with the long lash which we had noticed
during the day. His chin was cocked upward and his eyes were fixed in a
dreadful, rigid stare at the corner of the ceiling. Round his brow he had a
peculiar yellow band, with brownish speckles, which seemed to be bound tightly
round his head. As we entered he made neither sound nor motion.
'The band! The speckled band!' whispered Holmes."
