This week we’re looking at The Second Stain. As always, I’ve typed up a few thoughts to get the discussion started.

Author's Notes: …I had given a promise that "The Adventure of the Second Stain" should be published when the times were ripe… But when you compare the details given in NAVA with SECO itself, Watson appears to be talking about two different cases…


Holmes stared at my manuscript.

“The Second Stain? I gave my word we wouldn't make it public yet!”

“No, I said, “this isn’t the Second Stain. It’s the other Second Stain. I wouldn’t write about the first Second Stain, but this is the second Second Stain. So it’s fine.”

“Oh,” said Holmes. “Well, it’ll all come out in the wash.”

Lady Hilda Trelawney Hope
Didn’t merely forlornly mope.
But when retrieving Lucas’ ill-gotten gains,
She omitted to match up the gruesome bloodstains.

Author's Note: This drabble is set on the evening of 1 August 1914, when Germany declared war on Russia.


This Saturday evening, I go through my old notes. A slip of paper falls from the diary marked 1881 - 89. In my friend's unmistakable hand it has the Kaiser written on it. For twenty-six years I held on to this memento from Holmes' most distinguished case. Today, with Europe on the brink of war, his supposition seems like prophecy.

Lady Trelawney Hope tried without success to comfort her grieving sisters.  Both had lost sons.

Through her tears the eldest sobbed “To think that one letter could lead to so much death.  You should be grateful, Hilda, that you have no child to mourn.”

Lady Hope woke with a start, thankful that Eduardo Lucas had been killed by his wife.

Missed out on this gold mine
He knew there would be another letter
Which would be even better

A/N: I could say I was sorry, but that wouldn't be true.

“I see it’s bulldog features that I have now,” Lestrade remarked to me, as he read the draft of what was to be my latest submission to The Strand Magazine.  “I suppose it’s an improvement on ferret like.”

“I know neither is accurate, but if I told the truth I would sound like Mouselet’s descriptions of Stanley Hopkins,” I replied.
