“I believe you used to play cricket with Percy,” said Miss Harrison as we strolled round the grounds.

I recalled stumps wielded on youthful shins and smiled weakly.

“Perhaps a friendly game with me?” she said.


It took two weeks to recover from my injuries. Miss Harrison turned out to be adept at what was later known as the googly.



Author's Notes: The googly was officially invented by Bernard Bosanquet in the mid-1890s. On another occasion, when asked if the googly was illegal, Bosanquet is said to have replied, "Oh no, only immoral." Thompson, A. A. (1967), via Wikipedia.

Gave tiny yelps,
As playmates attacked him with a wicket.
It just wasn’t cricket.

Annie took in the detective's features, his thin lips and brown eyes, looking anything but kind. He reminded her of her father, smelling of pit-coal and snow. Yet she trusted him, implicitly. For what her mind suspected, her heart refused to believe. Holmes was untouched by this tangle of emotions. He'd see the truth she couldn't bring herself to see.

This is another of the stories that I was unable to share at the time.  It was again a case where Mycroft Holmes had called on his brother’s expertise and which resulted in Holmes exposing the duplicitous nature of the captain, whose tiredness was caused by his pretence of being two completely separate people, with the resultant lack of sleep.
