Lestrade had invited us onto the roof of Marble Arch.  From there Holmes was able to watch his suspect moving amongst the crowd milling around Speaker’s Corner.  To the casual observer he might be taken to be a pickpocket, but the man was not there to steal small items from the unwary.

Suddenly, Holmes shouted, “Now!”

At a signal from Lestrade two officers moved through the crowd to apprehend both the suspect, now in possession of a small package, and the man who had passed it to him.

The package of state papers would be returned to their rightful owner.
