Author's Notes: I am glad you were not forced to break his woolly head, Watson. I observed your manoeuvres with the poker. But he is really rather a harmless fellow, a great muscular, foolish, blustering baby, and easily cowed, as you have seen. Or is he?  My first try...

Watson saw, but (as usual) did not observe the truth.

Steve Dixie was far from harmless, his blustering baby ways a careful ruse. In fact, Dixie was among the most dangerous men in London. He had seen the poker maneuver as well, but he, like many, owed Sherlock Holmes a favor, and Sherlock Holmes found him useful enough to protect.

Author's Notes: Yours faithfully, Mary Maberley… Mary the maid heard the noise…



My thoughts recently had been on Mary—the life we might have had together. And as if reading my mind a letter arrived, filled with tactful concern and inviting me to on a visit to Sussex.

I found my explanation in the postscript:

In your latest story, my dear fellow, you gave both mistress and maid the same charming pseudonym.

Author's Notes: “I won’t ask you to sit down, for I don’t like the smell of you, but aren’t you Steve Dixie, the bruiser?” Well, if you’re going to be childish, Holmes…


Steve Dixie:
Holmes picks thee
As a smelly fella.
Though traditionally, Mr. Holmes, whoever dealt it is the smeller.

The only resemblance Dick Stephens bore to the character in my tale was the colour of his skin.  Stephens was an unpleasant and dangerous man, whose intelligence meant Holmes had been unable to prove his involvement in certain particularly violent cases.  Holmes had requested my inclusion of Stephens’ alter ego as a warning that we were aware of his actions.

Thought dalliance was fine
But marriage required wealth
Even at the expense of Douglas Maberley’s health
