REIG -- The Reigate Puzzle

What had happened?

The question haunted me as the train rattled along. The telegram had been all too terse.

Holmes had declined my assistance for the Continental portion of the case, citing the impossibility of my leaving my practice. But that did not stop me from bitterly regretting not being at his side, and vowing to avoid another such mistake.

I can well imagine Watson's regret at not being at Holmes' side with a case that took a toll like this. Those 24 hours of travel must have been painful and tense for him. Well done!

Thank you so much! I think those must have been very long and painful hours for Watson.
