My friend had two faces. His everyday face cocked quizzical eyebrows at the vagaries and limitations of his fellows, nose sniffed after clues, mouth thinned before criminality and cruelty, eyes sparkled with intelligence.

The other, far less common, gentled under the touch of music, mourned the suffering of the innocent, softened for children and some women. And smiled at me.

Sherlock Holmes

The great detective, Sherlock Holmes,
will someday retire to Sussex honeycombes.
But not today, as cunning Mister Clay discovers, to his rue.
The work, dear Watson, the work c’est tout.

Author's Notes: “I think you will find,” said Sherlock Holmes, “that you will play for a higher stake to-night than you have ever done yet, and that the play will be more exciting.”


Mr. Merryweather
Finds it a very strange endeavour.
The bank above; director sub ‘er.
He doubts that this will trump his rubber.

I have to admit that, unlike Holmes, I preferred the southern European music that the great Sarasate played, and in particular his own compositions that reflected his Spanish origins.  And so, as Holmes introspected to the German music that he enjoyed, I was able to use the time to reflect on the ideal present for my dear Mary’s forthcoming birthday.

John Clay
Thought he had made his day
Until climbing out of a hole
He found he was not the first to his goal.

Summary: The method was no doubt suggested to Clay's ingenious mind by the colour of his accomplice's hair. In this minor point, Holmes was mistaken.


'Those canaries think they're so pretty,' Mr Wilson remarked as our last, bright blond customer left the pawn-shop, golden Bullingford watch back in the pocket of his waistcoat.

My employer turned to the small mirror behind the till and openly admired his own shock of fiery red hair.

I amiably agreed with him, a plan taking shape in my mind.
