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.
‘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.’

Stamford seemed like a natural choice once I donned the Hat of Crackitude.
