The Problem of the Green Capsule (2010)
“Whoever said that it is always raining in Bath basely slanders that noble town, where the tall eighteenth-century houses look like tall eighteenth-century dowagers, and turn blind eyes to trains or motor-cars. But (to be strictly accurate) it was pouring torrents on this particular morning. Elliot, when he ducked into the entrance to the hotel, was in such a hideously dispirited frame of mind that he had to confide in somebody or throw up the case and tell his Superintendent why.
True enough, h...e had had little sleep the night before. And he had been again at routine inquiries since eight o’clock this morning. But he could not get out of his mind the picture of Wilbur Emmet—with his plastered hair, his red nose and blotchy complexion—twisting in delirium and muttering words not one of which became audible. It had been the final bedevilment of last night.
Elliot went to the hotel desk, and inquired for Dr. Gideon Fell.
Dr. Fell was upstairs in his room. Despite the hour, it is regrettable to state, Dr.MoreLess
