THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES - ARTHUR CONA...

One night it was on the twentieth of March  1888 I was returning from a journey to a patient
(for I had now returned to civil practice)  when my way led me through Baker Street. As I
passed the well-remembered door  which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing  and
with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet  I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes
again  and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly
lit  and  even as I looked up  I saw his tall  spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette
against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly  eagerly  with his head sunk upon his chest
and his hands clasped behind him. To me  who knew his every mood and habit  his attitude and
manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams
and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber
which had formerly been in part my own. [...] Contains a collection of 12 adventures of
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson  such as A Scandal in Bohemia and The Red-Headed League.
Originally leased in 1892.
