The Strange Return Of Sherlock Holmes (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
He soon dropped away, however, and my two travel companions returned. The woman was very tidy. She wiped the blood off the window and closed the window tight. Thereafter we enjoyed a most pleasant train ride through French countryside, punctuated only by the distant thunder of an October storm. Thunder made the madame mistakenly fear she was hearing the German five-nines at the battle front. Her bespectacled husband and I both assured her that even the biggest of the German guns were too far away to be heard, and that she was hearing only God’s cannons. Say what you will about the Swiss, they know how to manage a country. Everything seemed just a little cleaner, quicker and less confused after we crossed the border and rolled into Geneva. I was waved through the frontier very quickly and soon had no more to do than find a comfortable hotel. From the train station I walked down the Rue du Mont Blanc to the lake, and there I turned left on to the Quai du Mont Blanc. I was soon attracted by the Hôtel Beau-Rivage where, for five francs a night, I booked a room with a view of the lake and the Alps beyond.
