Canon story: The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Author: tweedisgood






Yes, Sherlock Holmes came to our house. Quick, little Miss Hunter was in danger. I still dine out on the story: my sister's escape, Father's disfigurement, Mother's vocation. Then my rise to eminence from the ashes of my family.

The fool ripped away the cord strung across the stairs, without comment: saving the weak from the strong. Unnatural. Illogical. Dangerous.

This is so richly characterized in such a limited space. I'm excited you noticed the same thing I did -- serial killer in the making with the son. Yikes.

I was thinking more successful psychopath - he adopted his father's trick of hiding malevolence behind a mask...yikes indeed.
