Canon Story: The Engineer's Thumb

Rating: G

Although the case of Mr Hatherley’s thumb was the more dramatic of the two cases I introduced to Holmes, that of Colonel Warburton’s madness was in many ways more complicated and had its roots much further in the past.  Holmes may have been ultimately bettered by the schemes of Colonel Lysander Stark, but I believe he admired Colonel Warburton more.

Just as teasing as the original, though longer in words. I wonder if any ficcer has tackled that tale.

It was an intriguing case (or two).

Thank you very much. It was obviously time to dust it off again ;)

No wonder Holmes admired the colonel so much - it's the sort of scheme he himself has used so many times.

Exactly - Holmes made a mental note of the usefulness of the idea.
