Mary, Mary

Mr Holder described his niece Mary as a tender, quiet, and gentle girl and told us at length how carefully she had been raised.

To myself, I thought that if only she had been less sheltered and had more knowledge of the world, she might have been able to discern the true character of that desperate villain, Sir George Barnwell.

Author's Notes: It was a bright, crisp February morning… Holmes and Watson’s fame is growing...



The morning of the 14th brought more post than usual for Holmes.

“Five Valentines!” he declared, resolutely pretending not to be pleased.

He tossed them aside.

“Sentimental nonsense, of course. Watson, did you get anything in..?”

Holmes’ voice trailed away as he took in the huge pile of cards next to Watson’s plate.

Watson smiled weakly. “Oh, just… bills… mostly.”

Residents are encouraged to take extra care during this inclement weather.  The pavements are extremely slippery, despite having been cleaned and scraped.  It is recommended anyone who wishes to travel across our city makes use of the underground since the lying snow means the cabs are forced to drive slowly.  There is a good service available on the Metropolitan Line.
