Author's Notes: “And the practice?” “I do my neighbour’s when he goes. He is always ready to work off the debt.” (STOC) “I have no doubt Jackson would take my practice.” (CROO) "Oh, Anstruther would do your work for you.” (BOSC) So why does the neighbour abruptly change from Jackson to Anstruther? And what does the neighbouring doctor do when he’s away from his practice..?


There was a new face next door.

“Hello!” smiled Watson. “Jackson gone, has he, Doctor..?”

“Er…” The new doctor looked sideways. “An…struth…er..? Yes, Anstruther!”

He opened Jackson’s blue cabinet and stepped inside.

“Sorry to dash; I’ll be back soon. Same arrangement as before all right?”

The door closed, and the cabinet faded away.

Watson simply stared.

“Fine by me, Doctor.”
