Is this what it comes to? Corpses and corpuscles?  Sherlock Holmes was not the wilting, affectionate domestic partner Dr. Watson had envisioned in headier days.  She married another, richer man; sadly, also unkind.

Watson skirted the mirror, flinching again at Stamford’s accurate tactlessness. Nut-brown and lathe-thin. He drew himself up, then, determined to find a way forward. Poor devil, indeed.

Prompt taken from the Canon Discussion

"Who was your accomplice who came for the ring which I advertised?" Any ideas? It’s surprising perhaps that Hope had a friend willing to do this for him. He is a foreigner who hadn’t been in London long. Where and how did he meet his friend?

Although we still don't know the name of the accomplice, I'm sure I have solved the mystery of how he and Hope met.

.oOOo.

‘What is the matter, Cabbie? You seem preoccupied.’

‘Oh, Dr Stamford, I’m trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to find an actor to play a small trick for a reasonable price.’

‘That's a strange thing. Coincidently, one of my patients is a young actor looking for work. I’m sure he’d be grateful for any opportunity.’

.oOOo.

“Sit.” Bully sat like a good dog on the warm woolen mat.  Whenever the flinchy man was sleeping, the thin one became nicer suddenly.  He put a good plate on the floor and Bully ate something very tasty.  “There’s a wee bonny scottspup.”  Bully had no idea what that meant, but he licked the nice man’s hand just the same.
