Author's Notes: “Then, Watson, we will postpone our breakfast…”



Breakfast, Baker Street


“That looks delic…”

“No time, Watson! Case!”

“Can’t we stop here..?”

“No time!”



Supper, middle of nowhere


“…and that’s how I knew the jewels were here. Now! I’m famished— Watson? Is that a chicken leg?”

“Mmm… Mrs. Hudson made me… mmm… a packed luncheon.”

“Did she… make anything for me..?”

“No. There wasn’t time.”

Dr. Leon Sterndale
Watched the murderer turn pale.
His prey was right to feel despair -
Lion-hunters don’t shrink from destroying a cur.

Author's Notes: Title taken from this quote: »When one considers the structure of the universe, it is obvious that for every poison there is an antidote ... for every force there is an opposite, the cosmic ebb and flow of tides, of darkness and light ... of truth and deception.« Paul John Myburgh, The Bushman Winter Has Come


Postscript:

Some things rather suggest themselves to a doctor than to a detective. Thus I consulted with Dr. Sterndale once more before he left for Africa. His answer I at once passed on to the Helston Asylum physician. Owen, the younger of the Tregennis brothers, could be released two months after the tragedy. For George all help came too late.

It is not often that an eminent physician is asked to participate in a subterfuge in order to trap a dangerous criminal.  Even less often does this result in the afore-mentioned physician and a certain consulting detective being held hostage.  Holmes may at times call into question my success at disguise; he has never regretted my use in a fight.

Dr Moore Agar
Recommended a trip afar
Had he known the twist this would take
He would never have suggested the break
