MUSG -- The Musgrave Ritual

It was one of the few cases Holmes actively encouraged me to document. It was a tale full of mystery and brilliant deductions.

I realized even then how that case shaped his future career. Years later, I learned how deeply his early triumph had marked him, when he chose to retire to the same Sussex that saw his early success.

Thank you! There have been a lot of great takes on this one this week, yours not least. :-D

That's really very sweet.

Thanks! I don't generally go for sweet, but there was something about MUSG that rather demanded it.

Ah, that's very elegantly done. Nice work with tying back to Sussex. It's a fine touch.

Thank you! That link just jumped out at me this time, reading this story again. I'd never noticed it before. One of the great treats of the re-reads while doing the 60s!
