Mr Holmes finished explaining his haemoglobin reagent discovery and then regarded me with the scrutiny of a sergeant-major. I wondered if I would pass muster.

Had he spotted where I had mended the collar of my overcoat? My Inverness was second-hand; the good one I purchased in India was inadequate for London winters. This one did not fit as well, but at least it was warm and my clever stitches hid the gash. Mr Holmes paused only for a moment then he smiled and shook my hand again.

‘I have my eye on a suite in Baker Street,’ he said.

.oOOo.
