Canon Story: The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
Title: Further Details from the Mouse Hole (part of The Ocelot Tales)
Author: thesmallhobbit
Rating: G
Ocelot's Note: There have been some questions regarding Colonel Carruthers, so we checked with our informant.


Colonel James Carruthers would get himself invited to soirées and card parties and then purloin valuable small items that would not be missed for some time.  His downfall came when the doctor met a friend of his at his club who mentioned a loss.  Mr Holmes made some enquiries, arranged to attend one of the parties and caught Carruthers red-handed.

Excellent:-)

Delighted the mouse paid attention to detail...

Thank you. This is a mouse worthy of Holmes himself; one that both sees and observes.

[debriswoman]

God bless him :-)

I think he takes the mouse detective work quite seriously; no romantic sidetracking, a story told straight:-)

I think there may come a day when he is distracted by unexpected romance, but for the moment it has no place in his observations.

I am pleased about the prospect of such an encounter. Intellect is not all he has to offer the world.

Hee hee! I love how friendship, gossip, and (undoubtedly) boredom are the seeds of Colonel Carruthers' downfall as much as the petty pilfering. Nicely done!

Thank you. Watson was quite pleased to have a suitable puzzle for Holmes.
