Canon Story: The Speckled Band

Author's Notes: I invented the name of Roylott's wife and Helen's mother – Lillian – as no first name is given in the story.


India had become his home – the heat hotter than his temper, beasts wilder than his rage. After Lilian's death he had tried to rein it in. But the tiger was always pushing, always clawing. He had brought India to Stoke Moran – her animals, the travelling folk. They soothed him, let him be. He could no longer live outside the jungle.

That presents a slightly more sympathetic view of his state of mind, and the reason for it. Not excusing his behaviour, but an explanation.

Very well done:-)
