Sherlock Holmes Stories Of Edward D. Hoch - Plot & Excerpts
I was reading the latest issue of Strand Magazine, while he puttered in the next room with one of his scientific experiments. It was Mrs. Hudson who announced our visitors in her usual manner. “A man and a boy to see Mr. Holmes on a business matter,” she said, after knocking on the door and presenting him with a calling card. Holmes frowned at the interruption, but instructed her to send the visitors up. He quickly slipped on his dressing gown to cover a shirt stained with chemicals and said to me, “Well, Watson, this appears to be an acquaintance of yours.” “Of mine?” “Mr. Rutherford Wilson, a sub-editor of that magazine where your literary agent has placed several of your flamboyant accounts of my cases.” “You mean the Strand?” I asked, holding up the issue I was reading. But, by that time, there came a second knock and the door opened to admit a middle-aged man wearing pince-nez and an obvious toupee. Accompanying him was a red-haired boy, perhaps ten or eleven years of age, his hands almost hidden by the sleeves of a grey winter coat.
