They were all veiled in some way.

“Death isn’t the only option,” one dapper white-masked fellow said. “Have you considered living in the sewers of Paris and stalking a favoured tenor or baritone?”

“Or consider piracy,” a black-masked man said, one hand on his sword. “The Veiled Pirate Roberts might strike even more fear into people.”

She already felt better.

Summary: Watson reassures.

“You have more experience in these matters, Watson.”
“War begets many disfiguring injuries.”
“As does daily life in this metropolis, but no, I am referring to my own role as confessor in the case.”
“You performed admirably, Holmes. Giving a dying woman the strength to live. No clergy or physician, no matter how seasoned or sympathetic, could have done better.”

Author's Notes: ...those curious gifts of instinct and observation which I have endeavoured to set forth in these memoirs.


“...and I give him the gifts of instinct and observation,” smiled Fairy Hollyhock.

Fairy Moriarty stormed in.

“Not invite me, would you? When he’s 37, he’ll fall into a waterfall and die!”

“But!” said Fairy Doyle. “Only for three years!”

Mrs. Holmes sighed. “Fairy godmothers! Why can’t they choose something simple?”

Mr. Holmes nodded. “He loved Mr. Stamford’s cuddly Watson.”

Messrs Barnum and Bailey are delighted to announce the arrival of their circus at Olympia.  Watch our aerialists, listen to the military band, be amazed by the re-enactment of the American sea battle with the Spanish fleet at Santiago, be thrilled by the equestrian act with no less than 70 horses in the ring at once.  Come one, come all!

Following my long-standing acquaintance with Dr John Watson of 221B Baker Street, we are delighted to be able to inform you beginning next month we shall be presenting, in serialised form, The Private Journal of Dr Watson.  To avoid disappointment should the Marylebone Monthly Illustrated sell out, we recommend purchasing a subscription or placing a regular order at your newsagent.
