Author's Notes: I find it recorded in my notebook that it was a bleak and windy day towards the end of March in the year 1892. A case in
1892 when Holmes was “dead”? “1892” may be what Watson
reads in his notes but it surely can’t be what he
wrote.
There can be only one explanation…
“Unhand him!” Holmes swiftly disarmed the assailant holding the blade to Watson’s throat.
Watson sighed.
“Do let Mr. Skinner finish my shave, Holmes.”
“But,” Holmes panted, “you left a scribbled note saying you’d been abducted!”
Watson glanced at the proffered paper.
“It says: ‘at barber’s’.”
“Heavens,” said Holmes. “Apparently even
my powers of deduction cannot cope with a doctor’s handwriting.”
