When we entered the crypt the two candles on the side ledge barely served to illuminate the area. I waited whilst Holmes made his way towards the far end, the candlelight casting grotesque shadows as he went.
Holmes came to a halt and bent down to examine something on the ground. He called out for some light and I took up one of the candles, carrying it carefully so as not to extinguish it. As I brought it over, I saw Holmes was inspecting the corpse of Mordecai Murdoch, petty thief and the reason for our presence in the crypt.
