.oOOo.
‘Here, Watson!’ beckoned Sherlock Holmes from a four-wheeler. Seizing my moment, I threw my valise at my friend, and clambered into the carriage.
‘Why the secrecy?’
‘You will see,’ he replied enigmatically.


We stopped at a lesser-known village and continued on foot.
‘We’ll hire horses for the rest of our journey.’

A cottage came into view.
‘Welcome to Sussex.’
‘Why the secrecy?’
‘You will see,’ he replied enigmatically.

We disembarked at Victoria Station and did not check our luggage.
Holmes exchanged a handshake with the conductor. I knew better than to ask.
The rain began to let up as our train departed and rolled southward into the foggy countryside.
