We were fairly accustomed to receive weird telegrams at Baker Street…
A selection of odd telegrams Holmes received through the year-- To begin, from Hopkins: THANK YOU FOR LENDING AN EAR. Calling that strange--not much of a boast? Well, here’s the next line: WILL RETURN EAR BY POST. And Miss K. has been dispatching her proposals again. No, not marriage: PISTOLS. AT DAWN. JUST NEXT TO BIG BEN. Though someone at Baker Street’s heart is in fetters: An admirer sends the deerstalker ten word love letters. WIPE YOUR D___ FEET--now that one’s unsigned. (Though a possible author does come to mind.) Then there’s riddles, and poems, and an analysis of soil... And there’s constant death threats from some chap called Doyle.

Well, here’s the next line: WILL RETURN EAR BY POST.
And Miss K. has been dispatching her proposals again.
No, not marriage: PISTOLS. AT DAWN. JUST NEXT TO BIG BEN.
