Author's Notes: "When I first came up to London I had rooms in Montague Street..."


“So why did you leave Montague Street?” enquired Watson.

Holmes looked uncomfortable. “Well, do you recall your reference to criminal relics turning up in the butter dish and even less desirable places..?”

“Ah.” Watson nodded. “Your landlady found a relic in the butter.”

“In a way…” said Holmes carefully. “I believe the surgeon eventually located the article in her duodenum.”

“He had a crutch fashioned from aluminium?” Watson whistled. “A very wealthy family.”

“And I retrieved it from thieves wishing to steal eight pounds of metal more valuable than gold.” Holmes shook his head. “A pity it’s so costly to extract – aluminium’s lightness and strength actually makes it a capital material for crutches.”

“The American chemists may change that soon.”
