Mr Holmes was easily able to demonstrate that the thieves were working under cover of providing a laundry service to several well known hotels; for no-one questioned their presence, or indeed wondered why their laundry was not changed.  And when Mr Aldridge assisted by hiding in one of the laundry baskets Inspector Lestrade was able to catch the organisers red-handed.

Hehe, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned criminal hunt with lots of laundry involved. I'd love to see this as a separate episode.

Thank you. This may in fact be happening.

There's a whole other tale in there:-)

The mouse thought the laundry tale much the better one and couldn't understand why Watson chose the tale of the cardboard box instead.

It's the word "bogus"which adds so much to the intrigue:-)

I love that there's a whole story here that we get a peek into. Intriguing! I want more.

Ha, so many stories that are only hinted at and 60 words doesn't provide much scope ;)
