.oOOo.

Even though there is nothing more unaesthetic than a policeman, I wasn’t surprised to find that Sherlock Holmes had amongst his wardrobe, a Metropolitan Police constable’s uniform.

‘It’s very convincing, Holmes’ I said.

‘It’s authentic. I bought it from Murphy when he went back to Ireland.’

‘You will need the boots to complete your ensemble.’

Holmes grimaced. Policemen's boots were excruciating (and likely a leading factor in Tim Murphy’s decision to self-repatriate).

‘You’re a chameleon! With only a change of clothes and some fake sideburns you completely become another man.’

‘It starts with costume, but also requires the proper deportment.’


.oOOo.
