The message was important; that much I understood.  The stable boy was leaning forward urging me to go as fast as I could.  We stopped at Elrige’s Farm only long enough to leave the message and then we were heading home again. No sooner were we back than we were off again to the town, for there were plans afoot.

Another faithful horse doing his duty:-)

The urgency of the situation comes through loud and clear.

It was either the horse or a hedgehog and the horse arrived sooner!

Yes, it struck me as quite a contrast to Holmes' earlier failure to act in time.

I really liked the horse, but now I want to hear about the hedgehog!

The hedgehog has had its say!

fair enough, I will seek him out:-)

Ah! This horse played a very important role in the story indeed! Good to see him get his due.

It's a shame that Holmes hadn't moved as fast earlier on.
