Author's Notes: “There is, as you may have observed, a bicycle shop next to our inn. Into this I rushed, engaged a bicycle, and was able to get started before the carriage was quite out of sight.” Really?



“I must hire a bicycle!”

“Of course, sir. Your name and address?”

“It is urgent!”

“I understand but…”

“My name’s Holmes! I’m staying at the…”

“Hymes?”

“Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.”

“Not the Sherlock Holmes?!”

“The carriage…”

“I’m a great admirer.”

“My bicycle!”

“Ah, yes. Sign here, Mr. Holmes. Thank… Oh, he’s gone. Splendid fellow. So pleased I was able to help.”

Author's Notes: “I did not tell him how urgent the danger was, for I knew that he could do no good here, but I sent the truth to the girl's father, and he very injudiciously communicated it to Godfrey.”


Doctor Leslie Armstrong

Was it really more important to be a three-quarter,
Than to be a husband to the man’s dying daughter?

A/N: There was one small sentence ...

My dear inspector called on Mr Holmes yesterday to enquire concerning the outcome of Mr Overton’s case.  My heart almost broke when I saw how greatly he was affected by the news of the death of the young wife, coming a few months after he lost his own sister.  I could hardly watch as his manly shoulders shook with grief.

Draghound Pompey
Could not run free
Since he would set a pace
Faster than two middle-aged London gentlemen could race
