The Sensible Necktie And Other Stories Of Sherlock Holmes (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Holmes’ subsequent success in solving this case was met with much admiration from the good inspector, who proceeded by approaching Holmes in the following months with a number of similar trifles, expecting the consulting investigator to reveal their connection to some significant crime. Most of these cases, I am sorry to say, proved to be nothing more than the trifles they appeared to be at first sight. Among them were the amusing incident of the corn dolly, the slight but diverting case of the red-nosed pickpocket, and the affair of the bigamist Oliver Treadwell, who managed to keep three wives oblivious of each other’s existence in different flats of one and the same house. But in this mostly unrewarding string of investigations, I retain in my records notes of one that proved much more consequential than was first suspected. It began, as all of the cases mentioned above, with our receiving a visit from Lestrade, who was, at this time, in the habit of dropping by at Baker Street in the afternoons to enjoy a free cigar from Holmes’ seemingly endless supply, which he eccentrically stored in the coal scuttle.
