Canon Story: The Adventure of the Norwood Builder
Title: Mister McFarlane of Graham & McFarlane

Author's Notes: A possible backstory riddled with, I readily admit, too much coincidence. Inspired by the odd supposition that John Hector McFarlane would not know of the character of Jonas Oldacres. But what if he knew the man? What if amongst Oldacre's creditors were clients of Graham & McFarlane? What if the asthmatic, weak-mouthed Mister McFarlane had devised a trap that Jonas Oldacre stumbled into, rather than the other way around?
The landlord of the Anerley Arms handed the paper to the solicitor. "Here, my claim to Oldacre's assets. But he's still broke, is he not?"
"Oh no." A smile appeared on Mr Graham's face. "I had my junior partner on his case. Last week, Scotland Yard was able to retrieve his missing fortunes. Quite the bright young chap, my partner."
