Annotated text: I had sufficient knowledge to realise that I had succeeded. I ordered Charles to spare no expense in confecting that Sundae known as Lovers Delight for my companion. I believed in letting a man have a bit in.

I looked down on what I had accomplished. Death closes all : but something ere the end, some work of noble note, may yet be done.

That figurehead beard would plough the pseudo-scientific seas no more, at least.

There had been other murders, of course, to-day, and with greater consequence. Francis Ferinands, for instance. But never one that had left a man more dead.

I gave the huddle farewell, and forbade Henry, my peerless investigator, to pursue the matter further.

I climbed down from the short flight of folding steps upon which I had secured my inevitable heliographic record of success. No more by thee my steps shall be for ever and for ever.

Italian text: Avevo conoscenze sufficienti per rendermi conto di avercela fatta . Ordinai a Charles di non badare a spese nella preparazione di quel gelato allo sciroppo conosciuto come Lover's Delight per la mia compagna. Credevo nella necessità di lasciare che un uomo ne avesse un assaggio. Un paio d'ore più tardi, il pastore sul pulpito - con il suo collaboratore - era servito allo scopo. Guardai ciò che ero riuscito a fare. La morte chiude tutto : ma qualcosa prima della fine, qualche lavoro di nobile natura, può ancora essere fatto. Almeno quella barba da polena non avrebbe più solcato i mari pseudo-scientifici. Oggi, in altri tempi, c 'erano stati anche altri assassinii, certo, e con conseguenze più importanti . Per esempio quello di Francesco Ferdinando. Ma mai uno che avesse lasciato un uomo più morto. Diedi l'addio alla confusione e vietai a Henry, il mio investigatore senza pari, di approfondire ulteriormente la questione. Scesi la breve scaletta pieghevole sopra la quale avevo appuntato l'inevitabile registrazione eliografica dei miei successi. I miei passi non saranno più accanto ai tuoi per sempre.
