Very neatly summed up!

Excellent:-) I really like the finally fatally line in particular.

I do like that last line - an elegant conclusion ^^

Wonderful wording and play of words, really clever and beautiful. The name of Roylott itself does have a sinister sound to it, and the added "despicable" really sums up his character (at least as we see it from Watson's tale ;)).
