Canon Story: A Study in Scarlet

Author's Notes: * ...a lurker tumbleweed  from the Great Alkali Plain is still rolling about... *

Prompt taken from the Canon Discussion

"Who was your accomplice who came for the ring which I advertised?" Any ideas? It’s surprising perhaps that Hope had a friend willing to do this for him. He is a foreigner who hadn’t been in London long. Where and how did he meet his friend?

Although we still don't know the name of the accomplice, I'm sure I have solved the mystery of how he and Hope met.

.oOOo.

‘What is the matter, Cabbie? You seem preoccupied.’

‘Oh, Dr Stamford, I’m trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to find an actor to play a small trick for a reasonable price.’

‘That's a strange thing. Coincidently, one of my patients is a young actor looking for work. I’m sure he’d be grateful for any opportunity.’

.oOOo.

This made me laugh so much ^_^ I love the thought of Stamford once more being responsible for an important introduction.

Perhaps he's there in the background of all the stories, innocently introducing characters to one another and making the plots happen.. ^^

A truly excellent deduction.

LOL! I love this explanation. Clearly, being a matchmaker is Dr Stamford's true calling in life--the medical practice is just a means to an end, a way to meet all sorts of people so he can connect them with one another!

Brilliant!

Mike Stamford, professional fixer. Indeed, why not?
Thanks, that made me laugh.
