to find the trophy.

Holmes accepted with confidence.

- The game is afoot!

- Hooray!

Good luck, Holmes! Good luck!

There he is!

But this is truly despicable!

Lmagine, a student

acting like a chimpanzee!

Mr Snelgrove, he's just having fun.

- Surely you remember what fun was?

- Fun (?)

This Holmes boy is too precocious,

too egotistical for his own good.

He'll never find that trophy.

- I'll wager a guinea he does.

- Done.

- Ah!

- Uh.

Excuse me.

Holmes, you've only got one minute.

Holmes, you've only got...

I heard you the first time!

Can't you see I'm concentrating?

(CLOCK CHIMES)

Only seconds left.

I assume you're giving up?

Never assume anything.

But Holmes, I see no sign of a trophy.

But I do.

(CLOCK STILL CHIMING)

Stop! Holmes, have you gone mad?

This is an antique!

(CHEERING)

It was a wonderful moment for Holmes.

Little could he know his talents would

soon be put to a much greater test.

A test of terrifying

and deadly proportions.

I came through the skylight

into the kitchen, giving them a fright.

I noticed the particles of freshly-baked

ceramic beneath the oven.

Odd for a kitchen used to prepare meals.

So, the clues:

Red and green paint, ceramic.

Pondering this, I kicked the snow

from my shoe.

The snow crumbled and revealed

my shoe. This struck a chord.

- You heard music?

- Watson, you buffoon!

I'm talking about a parallel,

between my foot encased in snow

and the trophy encased in some sort

of ceramic:
A jar, a vase.

- Painted with red and green paint.

- Exactly, Watson.

Holmes! This time

I've definitely solved the problem!

He's going to fly again.

(HUMS)

- Mr Lestrade?

- Holmes!

It's been, what, three or four days

since your last visit?

- This will only take a minute.

- There are no murder reports,

- no casebooks you haven't read.

- I'm not here for research.

- I'm on to something.

- Not again.

- I'm certain of it.

- Really?

Like when you thought the French

ambassador embezzled 300,000?

- It was the Russian ambassador.

- Holmes, please!

I don't have time for any more

of your... playpen crimes.

Just have a quick look at these.

- A suicide. A carriage accident.

- I suspect foul play.

Why? They are completely unrelated.

Wrong. Both men graduated

from the same university in 1809.

Coincidence.

Neither death fits their personalities.

Bobster was a happy man, content

with his life, career and family.

Why commit suicide?

He didn't even leave a note.

Reverend Nesbitt is described

as loving and peaceful.

Yet the carriage driver

insists he was crazed,

in a panic when he ran into the street.

A fluctuation of character

is not sufficient for an investigation.

Keep your nose out of the "Times"

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularise the mystery of the Mary Celeste. more…
