Story: The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax

Rating: Teen (for mention of violence)

Summary: The story behind Holy Peters’ torn ear.

The man slammed his pint down. “The worse fight I ever been in was Adelaide, ’89…”

“Yeah?”

“…with a man so evil he’d lock you in a box and watch you die just to line his own pocket.”

“You kill ‘em?”

“Nah, walked right into that saloon and set ol’ Rex on him.”

The dog lifted its head and woofed.

Author's Notes: "I don't admit that a fresh illustration is an explanation..."



“He’s had another go!” Watson handed over the sheet of paper. “Sorry, Mrs. Hudson. Ever since Holmes developed laryngitis, he’s become wedded to the idea that drawing his wishes is easier than writing them.”

Mrs. Hudson tilted the sketch. “So. For dinner he wants... is that a harpsichord?”

Watson shrugged. “The art in Mr. Holmes’ blood takes very strange forms.”

Summary: Some cases are etched indelibly into the mind.

***

Our work remains with us in different ways. Holmes dreams of orange pips rolling in his hand, or snakes dropping onto him; I face a red-eyed giant hound or watch, helpless, as Holmes and Moriarty topple into the abyss.

But one night after the Carfax case we both awoke, gasping for air and clawing at the lids of invisible coffins.

We provide all that is required for the funeral of a loved one: an excellent choice from our wide selection of coffins; a suitable hearse pulled by four splendid black horses wearing ostrich feather plumes on their heads; the wide silk hat bands, silk scarves and black gloves so necessary for all those attending; even the epitaph can be arranged.
