Summary: Gilchrist wasn’t even the cleverest cheat.

***

Alas, all three students were guilty.

Gilchrist admitted to studying the Thucydides paper, and Daulat Ras to paying Bannister to copy the exam.

But Miles McLaren’s secret weapon lay under his bed – a disheveled and startlingly familiar person.

“Mr. Melas!” Holmes exclaimed.

The Greek interpreter shrugged. “This pays better, Mr. Holmes – and is far less dangerous than my last assignment!”

Can't really blame Melas - a foreigner you know.

A job's a job.

This truly made me smile:-
Neat canon twist:-)

I do like mashing together characters from other Holmes stories.

Thanks so much. I always love being able to have characters from different Holmes stories run into each other.

Thanks! I confess that it only just struck me, re-reading this, that we already have a canonical Greek interpreter and that cheating on tests is as old as universities.
