The Strange Return of Sherlock Holmes (2010)
“‘My first case in ninety years, and I can’t crack it,’ he said one morning, and he laughed bitterly. I could see he was becoming desperate and depressed. Several times I had noticed him eyeing the small morocco case containing his hypodermic needle.
‘Never fear,’ I said. ‘A tiny piece of information will come your way, and suddenly the whole case will crystallize, and you will solve it as brilliantly as ever you did.’ ‘I wonder,’ he mused. ‘I wonder.’ ‘By the way,’ I said. ‘I met Sergeant Bundl...e when I was buying the newspaper this morning. He mentioned that Jenkins has returned to his cottage from Scotland.’ ‘Ah!’ cried Holmes, springing to his feet. ‘Perhaps we should go see him. There may yet be hope of fresh facts.’ We drove to The Old Vicarage in my car. Jenkins was still in his silk pyjamas and dressing gown when we knocked on his door. He graciously invited us in. He was a dapper man in his forties. He had bright green eyes, blond hair worn with studied dishevelment, and he threw his right arm into the air whenever he became excited about one of his own observations.MoreLess
