Author's Notes: …Sherlock Holmes… dipped rapidly into the bundle of fresh papers... We had left Reading far behind us before he thrust the last one of them under the seat, and offered me his cigar-case.


“Look!” said the first cleaner, pulling out newspapers from under the carriage seat.

“And there’s ash and cigar stubs everywhere,” said the second.

Mrs. Fields sighed. “Passengers! Bet you wish you were in London instead, Mrs. Turner—helping your sister Mrs. Hudson.”

“Gracious, no,” her workmate answered. “Apparently she hasn’t managed to find Mr. Holmes’ sitting room floor since 1882.”

Author's Notes: He took a piece of white paper folded up out of his waistcoat pocket. 'See that the boy has this to-night, and you shall have the prettiest frock that money can buy.'



Edith Baxter:
On her scruples, Simpson taxed her.
But she didn’t want to dress up in a new gown,
And the stable lad gave Simpson a dressing down.

It was entirely typical of Holmes, that while I was admiring the scenery as we journeyed through the Wiltshire countryside, he would be calculating the speed at which the train was travelling.  It is true that there were occasions when he would admire the intricacies of an individual flower, but the overall swathe of trees and fields left him unmoved.

Silver Blaze
Uttered no neighs
Nor was sound made by the dog
Which happily slept like a log

A thoroughbred racehorse, Silver Blaze;
A case, unique in several ways...
A rare event indeed to claim
That victim and killer are one and the same.
