Author's Notes: “When a woman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values most. … In the case of the Darlington Substitution Scandal it was of use to me... A married woman grabs at her baby—an unmarried one reaches for her jewel box.” Mothers aren’t always married.
“He’s not my baby!” sobbed Mrs. Darlington.
Her husband glanced at Holmes. “She’s not well…” But a cry interrupted him.
“FIRE!”
And a maid rushed in and desperately snatched up the boy.
Holmes smiled sadly. “When danger threatens, a mother thinks only of her child. Mr. Darlington, I believe you will find your other son safe at the local convent.”
