Chronicles of the Lost Years (The Sherlock Holmes Series)

Holmes’ awareness of fate waiting around the corner I did not exaggerate, nor the counterpoint charm of the countryside. Elizabeth was a cheerful, energetic, thoughtful companion and I believe Holmes all but forgot her womanho...od, so well did she fall in with our habits.

We had passed over the Gemmi that day and a falling rock had nearly taken Holmes.MoreLess
