I met Inspector MacDonald mere days after returning from Switzerland. His cheery face was grave, his moustache seeming to droop.
"I am truly sorry, Doctor Watson,” he said. “I never did take him seriously about this professor. Wish I could go back and change things."
I stared at him, frozen and mute. What use were such regrets now?
