Holmes forced the door open and dim light fell upon two figures.

‘That one is Wiggins,’ said Dr Watson indicating the motionless one on an old mattress. The other one lay panting on the floor.

‘Freddy Euston,’ said Holmes, stooping to examine him whilst Watson felt for Wiggins pulse. Both boys had been sick and there was blood in Wiggins' vomit.

‘Typhoid, Doctor?’

‘No,’ Watson replied in exasperation.

Wiggins could not be roused but Freddy moaned.

‘Fred, it’s important. What have you eaten?’ asked Holmes.

‘…scraps from Margate’s,’ the child groaned.

‘When?’

‘…suppertime.’

‘Holmes, it’s not disease. They’ve been poisoned.’

.oOOo.
