A/N: The only way I can make this story make sense...

When I sat down to write up the case, I discovered that any tension was soon sapped from the telling once I revealed Holmes' plan to the reader.

"Perhaps,” Holmes drawled, “you should pretend that you were not involved in the scheme, and were fooled by my consumate dramatic skill. It would not be so hard to believe."
