The Mystery of the Missing ‘d’


Observation

“No, it hasn’t ‘disappeared again’, Holmes. It’s there! By the ‘s’! Oh, for… There, you wretched man!”


Deduction

“You’re never going to get the hang of typewriting, are you?”


Solution

“It’s gone back to the shop. If you need any more typewriting doing, Miss Henderson of Sandelow Street will be delighted to oblige.”

Probably the best decision for Watson - Holmes would have battled on, driving the poor doctor up the wall.

"It is the Napoleon of typewriters, Watson!"

"Oh for GOD'S sake, Holmes, hire a typist!"
