10 January, 1889

W e welcome ourselves to some warm tea made by Mrs. Hudson, and warm our hands after
having waded through the soft drifting snow outside. Though a mild winter, it is still strong
enough to put a chill into your bones.
Sherlock, however, seems unaffected by the weather, or unaware. Reading the newspaper, he
stands up and looks at us. ”Lestrade will be here in a few moments, I’m sure. Please tell him I’m too
busy for his case, and that you will take care of the matter.”
He walks off to the other room and closes the door. We stand befuddled, yet unsurprised at the
riddling way of speech.
After having half-finished our tea, Mrs. Hudson enters once more, this time with Inspector
Lestrade in tow.
“Gentlemen, I’m here to speak to Sherlock. Do you happen to know if he’s present.” We tell him
about his sudden dismissal, and our eagerness to try and take on any case the inspector might have
for us.
“How in heavens did he know before I even arrived here,” Lestrade exclaims wide-eyed.
We raise our shoulders simultaneously, and wait for the inspector to come to grips with not being
able to figure it out. After what seemed like minutes, Lestrade regains his posture and takes a few deep
breaths.
“I’m here about the murder of David Roster, a well-off middle-aged man. He was found this
morning by his wife in their home, stabbed in the neck. It happened somewhere last night. He is the
second murder victim killed in this fashion. Yesterday we found a man, who has since been identified
as Sam Brown, stabbed in the neck, in Regent’s Park.” Lestrade sighs deeply, wrinkling his face deeply.
“Still have to tell the misses. Gonna go there now, in case you want to join.”
We kindly excuse ourselves. Lestrade turns to leave, but stops at the doorway. “Oh yes, almost
forgot. Both man work at the same office; the Royal Insurance Company. I’m sure Sherlock would
agree that it is too big a coincidence, that the murderer targeted two men who work together.”
At that, Sherlock’s door opens every so slightly, to reveal nothing more than a nose. “Three men,
Inspector. Three.” After which the nose escapes, and the door closes with a slam.
Lestrade twists his face trying to comprehend, yet gives up quickly and storms out of the house,
mumbling all the way. We set out shortly after.
 AREA SW

Langdale Pike is eager to talk about our victims, as
he knows them all by name. “Not that I’ve written about
them or anything, but it’s good to know the players. For
what I know, they frequent a club a couple streets south
of the Royal Insurance, and they don’t just go their for tea
if you know what I mean. Their wives aren’t all to happy
about it. They meet up at Simpson’s to chat about how
much they hate them. Could be they did them in” He
winks, half jokingly.
5 SW
Besides intriguing us with the rich history of an
unrelated Mr. Jamieson, who sailed all the way to India,
Lomax is of no use to our investigation.
7 SW
We arrive at The Carleton Club, where Yahya Al-
Baaqee has his appartment. We are not allowed entry, but
one of his lackeys comes to speak with us.
“Master Yahya does not want to be disturbed.”
“We came into the possession of a gem-encrusted
dagger, and want to know if it belongs to Mr. Al-Baaqee.”
“Master Yahya gives many gifts. Among them might
be such objects, but only for those with whom he no
longer wants to deal. A sign of ending the relationship
if you will. Master Yahya’s kind way of ending on a good
note.”
And with that the lackey closes the door, leaving us
standing outside in the snow.
8 SW
We arrive at Mycroft’s apartment, only to find the
door locked. No answer comes when we knock. When
we leave the building we notice a man in Arabian attire
entering The Carleton Club, followed by an entourage of
servants.
13 SW
The police have no time for our little investigation, and
are trying to solve this double murder by interviewing
everyone the victims ever works with during their time
at the Royal Insurance company.
22 SW
Murray invites us in, but besides a good cup of tea, he
is no further use to us in our investigation.
48 SW
It is bustling at Goldini’s, but we manage to find a
waiter who has a minute to spare for our inquiries.
“Yes I remember the ladies you describe. Both finely
dressed, on with a big hat, other brown-haired. Sat her
two days ago I think. Very cheerful. Bit loud even.”
We thank the man.
AREA NW
16 NW
The large blue logo of a silhouetted lady is printed
on the front door of the offices of Ladies Couriers. We
are warmly welcomed into the building, and find an
employee willing to answer a few questions.
“Yes I know the women you are talking about. But it’s
not fair off me to share any private information. I can tell
you that most of female high-society uses our services,
and we deliver all over London.”
17 NW
We make our way into J.W. Benson, and are instantly
talked to by the manager.
“What will it be, a fine necklace for the misses? A new
set of cufflinks? Or maybe something more exotic like a
gem-covered dagger?”
At that we draw a puzzled look. “Do you make many
such daggers?”
“Well no, only started doing it recently. Can only be
done on custom order you see. But believe you me, if it
has a surface, we can put gems on it.” He bellows out a
hearty laugh.
“Did a lady by the name of Roster came by here
recently?”
“Ah, is that your misses? Well I can’t divulge to you
what she bought, I’m sure you’ll be surprised by that later
on. But yes, she did stop by. Are you here for something
small or large?”
After we inform him we are not there to buy, and are
instead busy solving a murder case, he feel cheated and
insulted, and ushers us out of the establishment.
“And don’t you come back unless you want to buy!”
18 NW
Parsons and Sons Toy Shoppe is closed for the day.
25 NW
We make our way into the common room of The
Cavendish, and are instantly welcomed by scantily
dressed women who ask if we want something to drink.
After we declare our intentions, they leave, and a sly-
looking manager takes us off to the side.
“Not good for business, having you hear. Best ask
you questions and leave, if you wouldn’t mind.” The man
fingers his thin moustache.
“All we want to know is if a group of three men came
here recently.”
“Ah, must be talking about those fellows from the
insurance company. They are my favourite customers.
Always eager to spend their wages here. I’m sure the
make a lot of it, by the numbers the spend here. I think
they were here last Monday, and maybe the Saturday
before that as well. Quite the regulars. But I guess The
Cavendish attracts the sort.”
“And what sort is that?”
“You know, wealthy, single, down for a good time.”
“What makes you think they were unmarried?”
“Well I ain’t never seen a married man without a ring,
have you?”
We take our leave.
37 NW
We knock on the door, but there is no answer.
40 NW
We arrive at the large house, and the door is opened
by a butler. We are informed that Mrs. Brown has just
received the terrible news of her husband’s death, and is
unconsolable.
“Mr. and Mrs. Brown didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but
they loved each other. Of course every couple has their
fights,” the butler says. We notice his hesitancy in saying
any more, and employ him to help us solve this heinous
crime. “Well. The rows most often happened when Mr.
Brown went to a club with his friends. I’m afraid they
often spent a bit too much. Mrs. Brown did not approve.
But it was nothing to break a marriage over. They would
have the same routine each time: Mr. Brown would go
for a long walk in the park, and when he came back
everything was cooled down. They usually take carriages
everywhere, but Mr. Brown prevert to walk to the park.”
Just as the butler finishes up, we catch a glimpse of
Mrs. Brown entering the hallway.
“Mrs., you need not worry, I’ll send them on their
way,” the butler tells her.
“It’s alright Alfred.” Her red face shows signs of
crying, as she approaches us in the doorway. Swiping
away some blond locks of hair from her face, she says
“Ask your questions. What do you want to know. Where
I was yesterday? Home most of the day. Alfred can verify
that.” The butler nods his head absentmindedly. “Earlier
that day I went out to lunch with my dear friend Martha.
We went to Appenrodt’s, and staid for a quick bite. Then
later I was going to meet up with Emily, but she let me
know by courier that she wasn’t feeling up for it. Now
if you will excuse me, I’m not feeling up for any more
questions. Alfred.”
Without getting a single word in, Mrs. Brown leaves
to go back into her room. The butler kindly sees us out.
42 NW
We brush through the snow to find out way back to
Baker street, hoping to at least get a warm cup of tea from
Ms. Hudson. However, even after persistent knocking,
no one seems to answer. We wait around for a bit, but
eventually decide we have better things to do.
50 NW
Mr. Milburn opens the door himself. He is an
charming looking man, though far beyond the beauty of
his age. The white hairs of his trimmed beard and hairs
are well-combed and neatly in place.
“We’re here to talk about you colleague Mr. Roster.”
“Terrible thing what happened. Really shock me to
the bone. He was a good man. We worked together a lot. I
taught him most of the tricks of the trade, I might say. We
were just about to finish another deal with a big client.”
“The arabian client? Can you tell us more about him?”
“Oh, round Tubbs told you about that. Sure. The
client’s name is Yahya Al-baaqee. He lives part-time
here in London, and was looking for the highest quality
insurance. After week of negotiating we laid out our
prices, and gifted us a dagger each. Real gold and
everything, very valuable.” He stops to scratch his head.
“This think something off though. We didn’t really sign
any papers, and Mr. Al-baaqee isn’t responding to any
messages - even though I know he’s still in town for a
few days more. Maybe a gemmed dagger isn’t the best of
signs where he comes from.”
“Thank you for your time Mr. Milburn.”
68 NW
As we enter the premises of the Royal Insurance
Company, we are greeted by the round-figured manager,
Egbert Tubbs.
“Horrible this. Simply horrible,” he mumbles
frantically rubs his hands together.
“Would you mind a few inquires into your employees
Mr. Tubbs?”
“Not at all, I want this manner take care off as fast as
possible. It’s horrible enough as is, but won’t do good for
business either.”
“Can you tell us about David Roster, and his
employment here?”
“David. Yes. David is one of our best... Was. He
handled the big clients. Very competitive business this.
But him and his friends were top-notch.”
“His friends?” we ask, just to verify.
“I mean Sam Brown and Frank Jamieson. Very close
friends they were. There’s also Randolph Milburn, but
he’s not so much a friend, I think. They’re the four I rely
on to get in the bigger clients. I give them free range to
travel around, as long as they bring back business. Which
they all do - Milburn most of all.”
“Is Mr. Milburn present at this time?”
“No, ‘fraid not. He felt rather ill after hearing the news,
so I sent him home early. He’d be sitting over there if he
was in.” The heavy-set man lifts a heavy arm and points
towards a desk in the distance. From this distance, it is
easy to notice the gem-encrusted dagger that has been
placed center desk, as some sort of trophy.
“May we inquire as to the significance of the dagger.
Seems a strange object to have in this line of work.”
“It was a gift. We recently negotiated with an arabian
client - and a big one at that. He gave the three of us each
such a gift. I’d say that’s a good sign, just need to get some
final signatures. Darn, hope this ugly business doesn’t
change this deal...”
The man seems only to think of numbers and clients,
yet we press on, “The three of you?”
“Ah-yes. That’s Milburn, David, and myself. Have my
own dagger in the office. Don’t know where David’s is AREA WC

“How would you describe David’s marriage?” 5 WC

We ask for his time, yet his appalling stench keeps us at

After some luck we manage to find Simpson’s
restaurant, where we see many high-society ladies
enjoying a late lunch. After a few questions, and some
refusals of lunch, we learn that Mrs. Roster, Mrs. Brown,
and Mrs. Jamieson often frequented this restaurant.
Though they normally sit in the common room, the last
time they were here, they acquired a private compartment.
32 WC
The bellboy is eager to answer our questions. “To be
honest, quite a boring job this. Not much happening.
What can I help with?”
“We are interested in someone who came here last
night. A lady who arrived by carriage.”
“Well, I don’t know about any carriage, but there was
a lady late yesterday who came in.” He draws his finger
through a ledger hidden from our sight. “Signed in as
Mrs. Roster. I remember he plain expression when she
asked for a room. She was quick to enter it. Later on she
came downstairs again, this time a bit more tidy-looking.
She stayed and chatted for a bit. A courier from Ladies
Couriers came by and took a message from her. Then,
she went up to her room again. Ledger says she left this
morning.”
34 WC
We arrive at the address to find quite the commotion.
The normally carriage-filled High Holborn is left vacant
of travel, as a crowd of people stands outside the house,
trying to catch a glimpse of what happened. As we make
our way through the crowd, a bobby steps forward. “No
one allowed, I said. Now go back.”
We employ the man to let us through, as we’re here
to help, on request of Sherlock Holmes. The name raises
one of his eyebrows. “Alright, wait here a second, I’ll go
check with the chief.”
We try and make our time in the crowd useful, and
ask some light questions to the curious crowd.
“Sad thing, this is. Very sad,” a young lady whispers as
she covers her nose with a kerchief.
“I saw ‘er leavin’ with a bruised eye yester-evening,” an
old lady says.
“Bollock,” a finely dressed gentlemen barks back, “She
was out with her friend, that one with her big hat.”
“Well, all I know is that she went opposite here to fetch
a carriage, yesterday late,” a younger-looking fellow says.
We take a look across the street, and stare up at the
main entrance to the Daily Gazette. Just then, the bobby
comes back and noticeably coughes. “Alrighty then, come
along. But don’t touch anything ye hear.”
We make our way up the small stairs, and go through
the doorway. There lies the body of a middle-aged man.
His silk night robes are stained with blood, as is the
carpet beneath him. The blood poles heavily around his
neck, where we see a deep and wide cut. He lies less than
a step away from the entrance, on his back, hands to his
side.
Besides his body lies a hand-long dagger, with a
wide and strong blade. It’s golden handle is immaculate,
and adorns any number of shining gemstones. A closer
inspection shows that one of the small gemstones is
missing, yet it is not anywhere to be seen nearby.
We make our way further into the home, and find
Mrs. Roster sitting by the window in the kitchen. “Mrs.
Roster, we’re sorry to intrude. But would it be okay if we
asked you some questions.” She turns to face us, dried
tears streaking across her otherwise beautiful face, her
brown hair up to the current style, yet frazzled.
She swallows heavily and says “I guess that’ll be for
the best. What is it you want to know? How if found him?
Just the way he’s lying there right now. I came home this
morning, opened the door, and...” She turns to face the
window once more.
“Where did you come from?” we ask in a sympathetic
tone.
“Well… Me and David didn’t always see eye-to-eye,
and has the occasional row. Nothing serious of course.
But yesterday I felt it best if I spend the night away. Just to
cool things off you know. I stayed at the Bentley’s. Took
a carriage there before dark, and stayed in all night.” She
absentmindedly fingers through a pile of papers, each
with a blue stamp of a silhouetted lady in their top-right
corner.
“Was there anyone who would want to do your
husband harm?”
“No. No one. We only have friends, no enemies. People
in these parts might be stuck up, but their wouldn’t go
around murdering. I’m not saying south-Londoners are
murderous or anything,” she quickly adds, somewhat
shocked at what she might have insinuated.
“I don’t quite feel well. Could we continue this talk
some other time?” she asks politely.
“Sure Mrs. Roster. Is there anyone you can go to for
the time being?”
“I’ll go to my friend’s house. To Martha Jamieson.
She’s a darling. Just had lunch with her two days ago, at
Goldini’s restaurant. Early lunch, more like brunch. You
can ask the people working there, we were both enjoying
the lunch for quite a long time.” Her eyes widened as
though we needed to believe her drastically about lunch.
We excuse ourselves, and leave her in her confused
state. On our way out we take a second look at the
house. There are small signs of objects being broken and
repaired; a vase with a crack through its lid; a hole in a
painting of Mr. and Mrs. Roster that has been patched
up. As we take our final steps out the house, we close the
door behind us, which locks perfectly in place.
74 WC
The crowd of people are beginning to lessen, as we
enter the offices of the Daily Gazette. An eager reporter
mistakenly thinks we are here to give him a scoop.
Somewhat disappointed at our refusal, he approves to
answering a few simple questions.
“The misses from across the street did indeed come
this way yesterday. She took a carriage southwards. She
hid her face, but I don’t know why. The two of them are
known to have rows, that I do know.”
We thank the man for his time, and leave as he starts
to press us for information in return.

The station is in its usual commotion, with people
rushing to catch trains, peddlers selling their wares,
and all under the constant whistling and shouting of
conductors and ticket salesmen. After quite the search,
we eventually find someone who knew the train we were
talking about.
“Ah, the 10.15 train to Cambridge from Tuesday. I
was there helping the train to prepare.” the gnarled ticket
inspector says. “Didn’t see much out of the ordinary.
You’re saying that’s the one in which that block got
murdered? The one the Times talks about?” The man
places a finger against his chain and stairs upwards. After
what seemed like minutes of thinking, he says “Well, I’m
not sure I remember the guy, but I didn’t go near the
private cabins. Most folk in those cabins want peace and
quiet, so don’t help if we come barging in, now does it?”
“And there was nothing strange happening around
that car?”
“There was a lady that jumped off last second, but
don’t know if you find that strange, I surely don’t. She
was dressed fancy and has brown hair, if it helps.”
We thanks the man and leave the station.

We find ourselves in front of Bell’s Baths. When we
inquire inside, we notice the entire building is under
construction, and are unable to enter.

We make our way into the restaurant which is filled
with german paraphernalia. A man in lederhosen bids us
‘guten tag’ and wants to show us to our seats. We inform
him we simply came to answer a few questions, to help
solve a criminal case.
“Well, whatever I can do to help.” A german accept
lies thickly on his tongue.
“We were interested if you remember two ladies
having lunch here yesterday.”
“Oh Ja. They were quite loud, I must say. Hard to miss
really. But paid well, so they can come back.”
“Can you describe them for us?”
“One had blond hair, und the other I couldn’t see
because of the large hat she was wearing. Their dresses
were immaculate, und they arrived and left by carriage,
so I don’t think they lived nearby. The blondie had a bit
too much to drink I’d say, at one point her friend had
to hold a hand over her lips to stop her from shouting.
Quite the embarrassment. Ja?”
“Thank you for your time.”
“Auf wiedersehen.”

The reporters are making the most of the going-ons
in London, and are too busy to help us in any inquiries.
35 EC
Quintin Hogg is busy writing about the double
murder. When we correct him in saying that there are
actually three dead men, he has more questions for us
than we have for him.
36 EC
We find nothing of use in our enquired with the
people at the Criminal Court.
38 EC
We enter St. Bartholomew’s Hospital with Sir Jasper
Meeks already expecting our arrival.
“I’d good that you’re here. I just had correspondence
with Sherlock, seems like you had the same idea. I’ll run
you through what happened.”
We walk over to a slab, and Meeks pulls back the white
sheet placed over the body. This is the body we found
in Regent’s Park this morning. As you can see, a thick
laceration in his neck. A deep and wide cut, made by a
single stab. The upwards trajectory indicates the murder
was smaller. Seeing as this man is of average size, you’ll
be looking for either a short man, or an average sized
woman.”
“Would a woman have enough strength to do such a
thing?” we ask.
“Oh most certainly, most people will be able to. The
neck isn’t that strong you know.”
We make our way over to a second slab. “On Sherlock’s
request I had the body found in the train to Cambridge
brought here. You know, the one mentioned in the
papers. It seemed this one too has a similar stab-wound
in the neck. Here the angle of the blade is downwards,
indicating a taller murderer. However, seeing as it
happened in a train, it is possible the victim was sitting.
Lastly we can talk about our freshest body, that of Mr.
Roster. I examined it at the crime scene earlier today, and
can verify that it had a similar wound to our first body,
though on the other side of the neck.”
 “You’ve been most helpful Jasper, thank you.”
“One last thing before you go; I think it wise to inform
you that none of the three men have any defensive
wounds.”
“Thanks you very much.”

39 EC
The door is opened by Mrs. Jamieson, who looks
somewhat confused as to our purpose on her doorstep.
“We are sorry to inform you of this, but the body of
David Roster was found dead this morning.”
“Oh my Lord. How awful for Emily” She gasps audible.
“I must go to her at once.”
“Would you allow us to ask you some quick questions
before you go?”
“Well alright, but make it quick.” She steps back from
the doorway, but only get closer to the coatrack, not to
let us in.
“We learned that you as Mrs. Roster has lunch
together, is that correct?”
“Yes, two days ago, at Goldini’s restaurant. And
yesterday I had lunch with my friend Mrs. Brown at
Appenrodt’s restaurant, in case you’re curious,” she says
while staring at the large collection of hats on the wall.
“And do you know of your husbands whereabouts at
this time?”
“Frank is in Broxbourne. We’re expecting you see,
and he’s off to get us a brand new cot from a specialist
up north,” she tells us whilst still decided on what hat to
wear.
“So he wouldn’t be in Cambridge then?”
“No. Don’t see any reason for him to be.” Finally
taking a large hat of a knob, and placing it on her head.
“Now you’ll have to excuse me as I will make my way to
my friend’s post-haste.”
She does not wait for a response, and pushes past
us. We see her hail a carriage and drive off, leaving us
somewhat stunned at the encounter.

52 EC
Fred Porlock informs us that none of the people we
mention have any ties to the criminal underbelly of
London. However, he did hear of some shady dealings
going on at the Central Carriage Stables. Seems like the
names of the carriagemen don’t really line up with the
paperwork.

97 EC
We end up at the Jamaica Winehouse, and go inside.
The women working there tells us she saw a blond-haired
lady get off a carriage and walk towards the station some
days back.

CUSTOM CASE ONE

The Cutting Edge of Winter

by Vincent van der Zwaag

W e huddle together at the fireplace for some warmth, as Sherlock yawns audibly, and sits in
his chair. “Quite the case wasn’t it. Watson could you be so kind as to ask the inspector if he
wants to sit besides the warm fire.”
Before Watson can open his mouth, the door to the room opens, letting in a cold flow of air.
Inspector Lestrade enters, shaking off the snow from his coat. “Please tell me you solved it, yes?”
“Have a seat inspector, I think we were just getting to that,” Watson says whilst placing a chair
closer to the hearth.
“Quite so, Watson,” Sherlock continues. “From first sight at the body it was clear to see what the
motives was.”
“Money!” Lestrade barks enthusiastically. “Rich men getting murdered can only mean one thing,
if you ask me.”
“Be glad I didn’t,” Sherlock continues, somewhat annoyed with the interruption. “It was not wealth
the killed was after. Why else leave the golden dagger? Why not search the house for more valuables?”
“How do you know the house wasn’t searched?” asks Watson.
“Well a pool of blood that big would be hard to step around. If the killer entered any further we
doul have seen bloody footprints. Besides, the fact that the door wasn’t forced open shows the victim
opened the door for his killer - clearly he knew the killer enough to open the door for her at night.”
“Her?” asks Lestrade confused. “Are you saying a lady killed all these men?”
“Ladies. Plural.” he responds stoically. “David Roster, Sam Brown, and Frank Jamieson - the man
found dead in a train going to Cambridge - all worked together at the Royal Insurance company, and
thus I went there after seeing the body. I learned there were more copies of the murder weapon, which
removed any option to find the killer by tracking down the dagger’s origins. Once again it became
clear to me that all these men, and their partners, use carriages to travel around London. Obviously
my next stop was the Carriage Stables.”
“Well I follow you that far, but I still don’t see what group of ladies would go around killing three
insurance agents.” Lestrade says with a truly baffling expression on his face.
“That all became clear to me when I peeked at the carriage records. For each murder, the victim’s
wife was far away, sometimes the other side of town, yet always one of the other wives’ would be in
the neighbourhood of the crime scene. This lead me to believe Mrs. Roster, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs.
Jamieson plotted together to murder all three of their husbands. A theory supported by the rows
Emily Roster was trying to cover up, and the victims’ regular visits to clubs, all unappealing features
for a trustworthy husband.”
Lestrade nods his head, finally catching up.
“Thus, my last stop was Bart’s, where I learned that each victim was murdered by a different killer,
either the angle of the dagger changed, or the hand in which it was wielded. In short, there were three
men living the good lives, with three unhappy women at home. They plotted to kill their husbands,
and life happily of the death insurance money. However, their perfect plan turned out not to be so
perfect after all. These ladies truly have hearts as cold as winter.”

28 March, 1889

A s we enter the Brownstone, Mrs. Hudson tells us we are not allowed any further unless we
thoroughly clean our boots.
“I’ve had enough of all this cleaning up. You lot would drown in dirt if it wasn’t for me.”
As we scrape out boots across the doormat, Sherlock makes his way down the stairs.
“Ah, gentlemen, you are just the remedy for my issue. I’m in need for some detective work on an
interesting case, yet I have not the time for it myself.”
Not faltering in his movement, he continues passed us outside. He turns around, but continues
walking backwards, as we hastily make our pursuit.
“I’m off for a walk in Green park, real busy. You, however, should empty your schedules.”
Only then does he halt his pace and looks us in the eyes.
“You all have kerchiefs, no?”
We nod absentmindedly.
“Good, good. You need to be sure not to inhale too much of the fumes… Well, off you go.”
And with that Sherlock makes his way onwards, just short of running. We stand befuddled, as he
turns down George street, out of view. Before we can make sense of it all a young street urchin runs
up to us. He looks at us for a second and then throws the morning’s paper.
“Sherlock told me to give ya this.”
We catch the paper mid air, and find the urchin already running passed us, continuing on with
whatever task Sherlock has put him on.
 AREA SE

Making our way up the stairs to the apartment of
Clint Wallace we notice the loud laughter coming from
within. We knock on the door, and a man in his mid-
twenties opens.
“What can I help you with?”
“Well if you wouldn’t mind, we would like to know
more about Clint Wallace, and we are sorry for your loss.”
“My loss? Did Clint die?”
“Well. Yes,” We reply hesitantly. “He was being kept at
Clarence Robinson funeral parlor.”
The man grins from ear to ear, and shouts over his
shoulder, “You hear that honey? Supposedly I’m dead
and lying in a funeral parlor somewhere.” He bursts out
a single laugh.
“We’re sorry, but are we to assume that you are Clint
Wallace?”
“The one and only. Don’t know who told you I was
dead, but as you can see it isn’t the case. Now if you don’t
mind, me and the misses were just enjoying a nice glass
of wine.”
82 SE
Mrs. Beaufort answers the door and informs us that
her husband is at his work. When we try to ask more
about her husband’s work, we are politely, yet firmly,
asked to leave her to her business. The door is shut in
our faces.
AREA SW
2 SW
Langdale has all the information we want about John
Mobley - and though he talks mostly of his business
endeavours, it is clear that the man had no enemies. Even
Langdale himself is taken aback by the man’s passing last
week.
5 SW
Lomax is too busy rearranging five whole shelves of
books to pay us any mind.
8 SW
“So what is my brother up to this time? You don’t
really believe this fire to catch Sherlock’s interests do you?
He sent you off, just so you wouldn’t distract him from
more important matters.”
“And what matters would that be, sir?”
“I’ll have you tell me if you knew, but I’m sure
only Sherlock knows what’s going on inside his head.
Regardless, the fire gets even less interest from me, so if
you wouldn’t mind leaving me to my paper.”
He points towards the door, and continues reading
The Times before we even took the first step outwards.
13 SW
At Scotland Yard we are informed of the fire in such
a monotone and undetailed manner that the newspaper
gave us more clues to start with.
22 SW
Murray informs us that the fire must have broken
out when to chemicals mixed. But he is unsure what
composition. He does know that chloroform doesn’t
burn. However, it does release a poisonous fume that
could have knocked out anyone in the vicinity. That way
no one would have had the time to put out the fire, even
if it started out as a small accident.
60 SW
We find the building closed and empty. Apparently
they whole office was giving a full day to mourn the loss
of John Mobley, we learn from the clerk. Mr. Mobley
was in charge of creating the insurance policies of many
different companies, and was often seen going to fancy
feasts with all manner of upper class folk.
97 SW
As we walk through the park, we keep an eye out
for Sherlock. Unfortunately, he is nowhere to be seen.
However, we do all simultaneously look up as the loud
yelling of a man belows from behind one of the many
oak trees. We press our way into that direction, but find
no man; only a shovel next to a knee-deep hole in the
ground, just a pace or two from the oak tree.
AREA NW
18 NW
We enter the toy shop and are surprised to meet
Sherlock.
“Ah gentlemen, good to see you. But why on earth
would you visit this place? Your investigation has no ties
to any of this, I’m absolutely positive.”
He slowly begins to usher us out of the shop, and only
stops when we are all outside again.
“Now I’ll see you all back at Baker street later today,
yes?”
And with that Sherlock closes the door, shutting
us out. We hear the faint noise of the lock turning. We
decide to leave it be.
29 NW
We enter the home of Particia Carey and are
confronted by a grieving family. Three generations are
mourning the loss of their beloved grandmother who
recently passed away, and we have not the heart to tell
them of the news that her body was burned beyond
recognition. Awkwardly we leave the house, feeling
worse than before.
 35 NW
After talking to half the staff, we learn that most
of them are not even from Italy. Eventually we strick
gold when a moustachioed strongarm recognizes our
description of the Italian man we are looking for.
“I think I know the fellow. Paolo Veronesi his name
is. He and my nephew came to London about a year ago.
To escape the cholera outbreak. My nephew ended up
getting a job at the harbor, he’s doing fine luckily. But
his friend didn’t manage to keep any job for long. Last
I heard he frequents The Temple grounds with the other
homeless.”
36 NW
“Cazzo! It’s not like all us Italian know each other!”
The man shout more profanities and slams the door in
our faces.
42 NW
When we make our way back to 221-B Baker street we
are greeted at the door by Watson.
“Ah! Gentlemen! Good to see you, I seemed to have
have lost my keys.”
He pats himself down, brushing every pocket he has.
“Maybe I lost them somewhere on the streets nearby,
could you be so kind as to help me look for them? If you
all take the northern part, I’ll do the other side.”
With a few waving motions he beckons us to leave. It
is clear Watson is distracted by something, and doesn’t
want our help at the moment - or even our presence.
Trying not to read too much into it we leave him be.
48 NW
We make our way to the homestead of Walter Latham
on the outskirts of central London. Though there is no
answer when we knock on the door, the neighbour comes
out to talk to us.
“The police just came ‘round to share the news.
Strange to think Walter isn’t with us anymore.”
“Were the two of you close?”
“Not really. Just being the friendly neighbour and all.
He wasn’t home much, worked tirelessly. Don’t know
how a man can stand working with those dead bodies,
but he seemed to enjoy it somehow. I often switched to
different topics, the man could talk on-and-on about it.
For whatever it’s worth, he seemed to be a real expert in
his field.”
93 NW
“Chloroform? No we don’t use that. I don’t even
know what to use it for.” The elderly dentist finds all our
questions to be confusing. We let the man be and leave
the establishment.

The stables hold no information regarding any travels
to or from Clarence Robinson’s, as they have their own
hearse to transport the dead with.
14 WC
We learn from Disraeli that none of the names
involved in the investigation have any criminal ties.
Though he point out that it is strange that Clint Wallace
is not registered as deceased yet - though that could be a
simple paperwork delay.
16 WC
Arundel street in not much more than an alley. The
warehouse entrances stand mostly closed, and what few
windows there are all have a layer of dust around them.
We walk around for an hour, talking to whoever finds
themselves in street. Mostly passers-by, but a few locals
tell us more about the area. One of them, an elderly lady
that walks her beagle here often, knows of whom we talk.
“The fancy-dressed man seemed to do most of the
talkin’. The thinly block - Italian you say he might be?
Well, could be right - he did the list’nin’. Now that you
mention him, I think I talked to him before. I often take
the time to talk to beggars, that’s often all they really
want. If I recall correctly, his name was Paolo Veronesi.
Anyway, where was I… Oh yes, I think ‘t-was about a
week ago, maybe more. But all I remembers is that the
fancy fellow told the meager fellow to grab all the jars he
could find. Don’t think he knew what the fancy fellow
was talking about exactly, but from the looks of him he
could use some work. Eitherways, I made my leave before
they spot me.”
17 WC
We look up all the names related to our investigation,
but learn nothing of importance. However, strangely
enough the name Clint Wallace does not register as a
deceased person, whilst the others already do so.
23 WC
We enter the beautiful dentistry parlor of Mr. Beaufort
and are greeted by a jewelry-endowed man in his late
fifties.
“Welcome gentlemen, what can the great Beaufort
do for you today? Got a broken tooth that needs fixing?
Maybe a jaw ache I can cure for you?”
“No, Mr. Beaufort, unfortunately we are here on more
serious business. Have you heard about the fire that broke
out in the area last night.”
“Yes. Sad story that. Over at Clarence Robinson’s, was
it not? Real shame. Guess it was the mortician, yes?”
“What makes you say that?”
“Well for starters there’s all those strange chemicals
morticians have to work with, and besides, he was
working from a basement. So, you know, not that much
light and all. Beside it was during the night, so maybe he
was working in the dark. Just saying that it could easily be
a couple of spilled chemicals that started the fire.”
“Thank you for your theory, Mr. Beaufort. Can you
account for your whereabouts yesterday evening?”
“Well I was here of course! The business is flourishing,
like it should be.”
With a wild hand gesture he almost knocks of a couple
of jars behind him.
“And may we ask, are those jars of chloroform?”
The man’s golden necklace rings as he shakes his head
to the side to inspect the label-less jars standing in the
closet.
“Well. Yes. They’re common practice for my
establishment. We use them for our new techniques. A
new way of operating. A revolution in dentistry really.”
We notice most of the jars are nearly empty, but as we
try and pry more information out of Harrison Beaufort
we are interrupted by an assistant.
“My apologies, Beaufort. But we have a patient waiting
for you in the other room.”
“Ah yes. Well gentlemen. Good luck with your
enquiries, but you will have to let me get back to my work
now. Duty calls.”

We find ourself standing in front of Mudie’s Select
Library. This must be the wrong place.

In the north of London we are met by the grieving
widow of John Mobley.
“My husband was a good man. But he simply loved to
drink. Was part of his job, he always said.”
“Where did you husband work, mam?”
“At Credit Lyonnais. But you won’t find much going
on there now - they’re closed for the day in memory of
my loving husband. Now if you don’t mind I would like
to go back inside and join my family.”
We say our goodbyes and wish Mrs. Mobley well.
64 WC
“What would I need chloroform for? Maybe you
could knock out your patient to avoid him hurting, but
that doesn’t seem medicale sound if you’d ask me.”
We thanks the man for his answers and make our way
outside.
66 WC
First mistaken for customers, we are lead in and given
a warm welcome by the proprietor of Squire & Sons. Mr.
Squire tells us about the quality of his medicinal drugs
and how effective they are. He shows us the toiletries and
other medical goods that are for sale, and even talk about
how hard working his sons are. When we inform Mr.
Squire of our business, his demeanor changes.
“Yea I heard about the fire, and I’ll tell you this, if it
really was the chemicals that did it, it surely was the fault
of whoever was handling them. What we sell here are
only high quality stable products.”
“Could you tell us about the types of products you
sold to Clarence Robinson?”
“Never dealt with the man himself, it was always his
mortician Mr. Latham that did the shopping. A hogshead
of phenol and two jars of chloroform, every two weeks
exactly. Last time he came round was two days ago I
think.”
“Was there anything out of the ordinary when he
dropped by?”
“Not that I remember, no.”
“And are there any peculiar situations with other folk
interested in either chloroform or phenol?”
“We had two fellows wanting to buy chloroform a
couple weeks back. Two separate occasions. The first guy
wanted four jars of the stuff but was outraged when I gave
him the pricing. The second fellow came in couple days
later, he started asking where we kept the jars. Not how
much they cost, mind you, just where they were. I didn’t
like his demeanour so I asked him to leave.”
“Do you remember their names, or what they looked
like?”
“The first one introduced himself as Beaufort, like it
was supposed to mean something. The second didn’t give
a name, but he was small and meager, and had copper
skin. I thought I saw him again couple days back when I
walk passed The Temple, where the homeless hang out.”
We thank him for his time, and take our leave.
71 WC
We arrive at the charred remains of Clarence
Robinson’s funeral parlor, and find what looks to be the
man himself sitting outside on the sidewalk. The fire
brigade is busy cleaning up their tools, and multiple
bobbies are standing guard. We ask the officer how many
victims the fire caused.
“Four, last I counted,” he says.
Next to the smoldering building sits a man with
tear-stained cheeks. We walk up to Mr. Robinson, and
introduce ourselves.
“Terrible thing. Just terrible. Today was supposed to
be the first day of my holiday.”
He fingers his kerchief, and stands up.
“I suppose you want to ask me some questions, don’t
you?”
“If it’s alright with you, yes. We were wondering if you
could tell us more about the bodies found downstairs.”
“We had three bodies to be prepared for funeral today.
Walter was working late last night trying to get them all
ready.”
“Walter was your mortician?”
“Yes, Walter Latham. Best in the business. Real pro. I
want you to know that. I heard the fire marshall saying
it was probably Walter who dropped some chemicals -
hence the stench. But I knew him, he wouldn’t make such
a mistake.”
 “And who were the three deceased that were being
prepped by Mr. Latham?”
“Oh yea. There was Particia Carey, she had a real sweet
family that one, died of old age I think. We had John
Mobley, a businessman for some bank. Lastly, we also
had Clint Wallace, a sailor for West Indies, real bruised
up body. Walter had a hard time making him look good,
I remember him saying. I don’t know much beyond that.”
We thank Mr. Robinson for his time, and make our
way closer to the burned down establishment. We find
ourselves hastily reaching for our kerchiefs to cover up
our noses. The foul stench of chemicals lays heavy in the
air. The bobby at the door informs us that all bodies have
been moved to Bart’s, and that we are not allowed inside
because the roof might still collapse.
Returning to Mr. Robinson we ask about the chemicals
used in his parlor.
“Don’t know the details really. That was Walter’s job.
But I know it wasn’t much. He went west onto High Street
only every two weeks or so, to restock.”

We make our way into the offices of the West Indies
Steam Company to gather more information about Clint
Wallace. We are pointed towards the head clerk, who is
happy to help us with whatever we need.
“We are looking into the fire that broke out at Clarence
Robinson’s last night, and amongst the bodies was one of
your employees.”
“Ah, yes. You’re talking about Emmons, right?”
The man takes our confused looks as a confirmation,
and continues. “Jerome Emmons. We tried to keep that
one quite on the request of the family. He drowned after
jumping off his boat in a drunken stupor. His family
wants to keep that part from becoming public. Did I
answer everything you wanted to know?”
“Well, actually. As far as we know, the sailor that
was laying in the funeral parols… his name was Clint
Wallace.”
“Wallace?” The man nearly shouts with surprise.
“Oh no that’s terrible. Well I’m absolutely positive that
his name is Emmons. What’s terrible is that such an error
could have occurred. Thank you for bringing it to my
attention, I’ll certainly get to the bottom of this.”
We are slowly but surely escorted out, with the man’s
reassurance that he’ll contact us if he learns something
new.
30 EC
We inquire with a few of the reporters about the fire,
but learn little more than what was already available to
us. However, we do hear talk of a Mr. Beaufort, and how
the advertising department is glad to be rid of him. We
ask for more information, and learn that a Mr. Beaufort
was hounding them lower prices on advertisements space
in The Times. But as of late, he has not made contact -
to the great relief of the staff. When we ask if they can
recall anything else about the man or his situations, they
inform us that shortly after his first newspaper article, an
Italian man came by asking for more information about
the man. The man looked homeless, and thus the staff
here at The Times did not feel comfortable giving out
the information. We thank the people for their time, and
leave.
33 EC
We walk the grounds looking for a talkative vagabond.
We find a hairy man who’s covered in dirt and smells of
booze, that is willing to help us out.
“We’re looking for a man who was here a couple of
days ago, maybe even more often. He’s short in stature,
and has copper skin. Does that sound like anyone you’ve
seen?”
“Well. If I had to guess. And I’m just guessing. I’d say
that. If you were to ask me. The man you’re looking for.
Is...”
His eyelids close and a low rumbling snore protrudes
from his lips. We grab the man’s shoulder and shake him
awake.
“Like I was saying. That guy. The tiny one. Or maybe
small. Depends on your definition really. Is it okay with
you lot that I just call him small. Much easier really. So
yea, the small guy. The Italian we call him. Well, that’s
what I call him. Or that’s what I’m calling him right now,

CUSTOM CASE TWO

The Case of Fumes and Fire

by Vincent van der Zwaag

I t is late in the day when we make our way back to Baker Street, but after a thorough cleaning
of our boots, Mrs. Hudson warmly welcomes us, and even gives us each a cupper. We make
our way upstairs and find Sherlock and Watson in heavy debate.
“It’s not always him, you know.” Says Watson in a rather aggregated manner.
The two halt their conversation as we open the door fully.
“Gentlemen, good to see you. I assume you are here about last night’s fire. I’m sure you managed
splendidly. However, I’m rather busy at the moment.”
Sherlock walks into his private room and closes the door behind him. After a short silence, Watson
gives us a warmer welcome, and beckons us to sit.
“He’s a busy man, I’m sure you know. He had me look into the fire at Clarence Robinson’s a well,
actually. Seemed to me to be a clear accident from what I read in the paper, but when I visited the
location it became clear that there was more going on than you might think. I’m sure you were also
bothered by the vagueness of the amount of bodies found, but luckily our mutual friend Jasper Meeks
knew the answers. After a short visit to Bart’s, and learning that there was one burned body too many,
it became clear that something went awry.”
Watson takes a deep sip of his tea, all the while keeping an eye on the Sherlock’s door.
“The importance of the chemicals had me visit Squire & Sons - the place where the mortician got his
chemicals from. They pointed me towards an overly eager dentist and a strangely-behaving homeless
man. Both were not strong leads, but because of the vicinity of the funeral parlor to The Temple -
where the homeless man was known to hang out - I continued my investigation into his identity. After
speaking to nearly every homeless man in west-central London, I eventually learned the identity of
our suspect; the Italian Paolo Veronesi. After it became clear that he had direct ties with the before-
mentioned dentist, I did some quick enquiries in Arundel street to verify their criminal intent. And,
thus, I learned that Harrison Beaufort, the dentist, had hired Paolo Veronesi to steal all the chloroform
that was present at Clarence Robinson’s. However, the Italian clearly did not expect Walter Latham to
be working at that hour. Probably a fight ensued, and chemicals were spilled, causing a fire to erupt.”
“But why didn’t they both ran out when the fire started?” Says Mrs. Hudson, who had been
eavesdropping from the doorway.
“Well, Mrs. Hudson, we know the mortician primarily dealt with chloroform and phenol. The
mixture of which not only causes burns, but the chloroform created poisonous clouds when heated;
which in all likelihood knocked out both our burned victims.”
“That’s real smart, Mr. Watson.” Says Mrs. Hudson.
After a few more minutes of conversing, and a few more minutes of Watson side-glancing at the
door, we ask after the demeanor of Sherlock, and if everything is alright.
“I’m sure it’s nothing.” Says Watson. “I’ll just have a quick look to see if he wants some tea.”
Walking over to the door, Watson knocks heavily. After no answer follows, he opens the door.
Mrs. Hudson, who was already carrying a cup of tea for Sherlock, drops it to the floor as she screams
loudly. We jump to our feet and see that Sherlock’s entire room has caught fire. Flames light up the
hallway, and smoke begins to crawl along the ceiling.
“Out!” Shouts Watson.
As we all run down the stairs, we hastily make our way onto the street. Just then, we hear a loud
explosion above us, as the windows of Sherlock’s apartment burst outwards in balls of fire. In the
distance we hear sirens coming closer.

The House of M
by Vincent van der Zwaag

29 March, 1889

[This case can only be played after having also played Case One: The Cutting Edge of Winter and
Case Two: The Case of Fumes and Fire. Also, as a forewarning, this case is more complex than
most other cases]

I t felt like it was only a couple minutes ago that we all lay flat on our faces in Baker Street,
with big plumes of fire raging above our heads. Bellowing flames made short work of the
curtains and each window frame looked like an entrance to hell. Since then, we had all been taken to
Middlesex Hospital, and well taken care off. Only when the doctors were done with our physicals did
we hear the horrid news.
In the chaos that followed the explosion, we had not found time to count heads, and as it turned
out, there was one too few. Sherlock had not made it out alive. We were told to consider ourselves
lucky that the flames grew strong before the explosion, giving us some small warning of what was to
come, else we would have never had the time to escape the blast - yet none of us felt lucky at all.
After an hour’s wait we gather in the common room of the hospital and are greeted by Mycroft
Holmes. His expression doesn’t give any clue as to his emotions, and after a few minutes of silence he
says “I would like to apologize on behalf of my late brother for the disturbance he has brought to your
otherwise ordinary lives. I’d expect him to have some good reason for this failed experiment, but we’ll
never know, I guess. This’ll be one mystery that Sherlock will take to his grave.”
As we try to get a word in, and ask Mycroft if there is any hope at all that Sherlock managed to
escape the explosion, he cuts us off.
“There is no use in hoping. He is dead, and dead he shall remain. Now, I’ve talked to Doctor
Watson and he agreed to take a leave from his detective work for the foreseeable time. I strongly
advise you to do the same.” He pauses briefly. “However… I do know of you, and your eagerness to
follow in my brother’s footsteps. So if this is still true, I do have something of equally pressing matter
to keep you busy with.” He takes a few steps closer, looks around, and in an ostentatious voice says,
“as long as you can agree that you will not look any further into this terrible accident at Baker Street.
No good can come of it…” He takes another step closer and his eyes narrow. “We don’t know who is
watching,” he finishes with a whisper.
Just then a man walks into the common room holding a black box in both hands. Its old metal
exterior is covered with soot, as if taken out of a fireplace. Sherlock had a very similar box - it once
stood in his private room.
“Ah, there you are,” says Mycroft. “How good of you to bring the patients’ belongings.” Grabbing
the box from the man’s hands, and handing it over to us, Mycroft returns to the door from whence he
came. He waits for a moment and then looks back.
“I know my brother… My late brother had the tendency to let you loose in the city, but I’ll be
chief with you. Listen carefully, this is what I want. Early this morning, two prisoners were being
transported away from Millbank Prison. However, they never arrived at their destinations. Their
names are Mabel Brown and Emily Roster - see what you can find out. Also, there seems to have been
some new information about a fire that broke out yesterday - the other fire… the one at the funeral
parlor, remember? Well, it seems new footprints have been found there, not belonging to any of the
victims. That should keep you busy enough I’d say.” Mycroft looks us over and his face tells us he is
thinking of telling us more. He eyes the man standing next to him, and looks back at us. “There were
also some rumours going around of a break-in two months ago at Buckingham Palace... But best you
just ignore that bit of information. No good can come of it.” He winks at us.
Then he takes his leave, and we are left with the charred box. When we open it, we find less than we
had hoped for. It contains a copy of The Times, dated about 10 years ago, with an attached note; You
owe me. Again, and is signed Lomax. Additionally, we find a small scrap of paper, which is partially
burned. In Sherlock’s handwriting it shows only three scribblings; a drawing of a crown, the letter M,
and a question mark.
We write today’s date on the old newspaper to remind ourselves of today’s matters, as we fear it
might become as chaotic as yesterday way. Then, we make our way out of the hospital.
 AREA SE
13SE
We arrive just after a show has started, and are denied
entry into the main hall. However, one of the boys
working there is willing to talk to us outside. He is not
yet old enough to grow hair on his chin, and the tonal
shifts of his voice point out that he is still years short of
being called a man.
“What can I tell you,” the boy squeaks. “I don’t know
if anybody working here would have a list of visitors, if
that was even something we would be allowed to share.
Besides, a drawing of an elephant and an address don’t
make much for me to go on.” The boy seems eager to help,
but without much information he falls into repetitions
and finds ten different ways to let us know he needs more
information to work with. As we try to make a close to
the conversation, he asks if we are detectives.
“We work for one,” we answer.
“Woooow. Than you must also be curious about
what happened as the Palace, yes? It’s the talk of the
town. No one knows what did happen, but the sudden
increase of guards means something’s awry, or I’ll eat my
shoe. Maybe I can follow you guys. Help you out, you
know. I’ve been doing some detective work myself lately.
Whant to know how I solved the mystery of the missing
hazelnuts? Miss Bentle left them in the kitchen with the
window open, and...”
The boy keeps talking, waving his arms dramatically
to emphasize his massively successful discoveries and
crime-solving capabilities. As he hides behind a plant to
illustrate how he was able to spy on one of his suspects,
we see chance to quickly make our escape.
36SE
We arrive to find a beautiful women open the door for
us. When we ask her if Mr. Carter is at home, we learn
that he has passed away. She shares her story, about how
she read his entry in The Times about ten years ago. She
replied to it and instantly fell in love. They lived happily
together for the next decade, until he passed away.
39SE
We arrive at an abandoned warehouse next to the
Thames. There is a sign posted against the door. It states
the building is part of the Thames Steamboat Company
trading routes, and entrance is not allowed. Another
sign below it shows a string of numbers and letters, most
likely used by the company to indicate it’s use. We can’t
make much of it, except that the warehouse at some point
was part of an England-India trading route, or possibly
still is.
The creaking of the large wooden door indicates years
of disuse. As we make our way inside, a cloud of dust
is brushed up into the air with our arrival. It’s pitch-
black inside, except for the light shining in through the
doorway and the small window opposite us, looking out
onto the Thames.
Suddenly we stop dead in our tracks. Though the thick
layer of dust would normally point us towards thinking
this warehouse had not been used in a long while, we
all simultaneously notice the heavy footprints left behind
inside. Starting at the front door, and pacing around
across the entirety of the building; large boot prints made
by a man with a tall stride.
We do our best not to disturb the markings, and make
our way further inwards. Around the corner, where the
prints continue, we eventually find a dusty table. The
chair next to it is hardly covered in dust, and below it
there are lines dragged into the dust from each chair-leg.
The table itself has been wiped clean next to where the
chair stands. Aside from the large swipes of cleared table,
there is a single ring-shaped clearing with a diameter
of roughly an adult-sized head. Whatever lay there had
been placed once, and picked up again. We find no other
evidence of objects having been laid about.
We follow the large boot prints as far as they go;
around another corner, facing towards the Thames.
There they end at a tiny doorway. Opening it we are
shortly blinded by the sun, and find ourselves one step
away from jumping into the river.
40SE
The gentleman we assume to be the manager of this
establishment invites us into his office. “It’s busy times,
you know. But what can I help with?”
“Well, we were wondering about the ownership of
the Thames Steamboat Company, as well as any relations
between the company and the Admiralty.”
The man rubs his chin, thinking of the correct way
to respond. “The change of ownership is public record.
Simple matter, really. A shareholder came in and bought
the majority of the shares. As for the Admiralty… Our
ships sail by their rules, but as a company we receive little
interference. Once in a blue moon they’de come by to
check records and what not, but that’s standard.”
“And how far do your company’s ships sail? The name
suggests you only leave London for nearby cities.”
At that, the man looks a bit nervous. “Well. Yes. We’re
the Thames Steamboat Company, so that gives it away.
Besides, most of our ships don’t really fare well on open
waters.”
“Most of the ships?” We pry further.
The man looks frazzled, shuffles some of the papers on
his desk, and then his eyes dart from person to person.
“Well… Yes… We have some ships that sail further. But I
don’t know if that is your business.”
Hoping the man’s odd behavior is due to some
paperwork-illegalities, we press him further. “So these
sea-worthy ships are used often, or no?”
“Perhaps,” the man replies whilst wiping the sweat off
his brow.
“Well we just came from the Admiralty, and they don’t
have any records of any such large vessels under your
care!”
 “Now hold up. You don’t have to go around putting
blame on people. It’s all public record, I swear.” The man
seems relieved to get things of his chest, and continues.
“We have two large vessels that travel from here to India.
But only on odd times; very sporadically. It’s all on the
up-and-up, believe you me.”
“And when was such a ship last used? I’m sure you
could inform us that - it would safe us a trip back to the
records department at the Admiralty.”
“Yes. Of course. Let’s see.” The man opens his desk
drawer and pulls out a notebook. Frantically scrolling
through the pages, he stops on one page, and scrolls
down with his finger. “That would be the 13th of January
this year.”
“Thank you very much for your hospitality and
cooperation.” We leave the man be in his anxious state,
and leave the building before he takes back his courage.
46SE
We softly tap the door but get no response. Pressing
our ear to the door, we hear snoring. We tap again, this
time a bit louder, yet still nothing happens. The third time
we angrily bash on the door. That seemed to do the trick,
as we hear movement from inside the house and after a
few seconds a tired-looking man opens the door for us.
“Sorry, I was sleeping. What is the matter?”
“We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are here
to confirm that you are Bernard Nims.”
“That I am. What is this about?”
“Well there seems to have been a disappearance of
one of the wardens at Millbank. We know it to be either
yourself, Mr. Owen, or Mr. Piper.”
“Well it’s not me, and not Ralphie - he and I did night
shift together.”
We thank the man for his time and take our leave.
68SE
Once more, in two days, we knock on the door of Clint
Wallace. This time, we know his name, and know that the
body that was being prepared at Clarence Robinson’s was
not that of Clint’s at all. After there is no answer, we knock
again - louder. With a heavy thud the door creaks open.
When we look inside, we notice the entire apartment is
a mess. All the closets have been emptied out, clothing
is lying on the floor, and a space in the closet where a
suitcase could have perfectly fit, now stands empty.
82SE
After his arrest, Mrs. Beaufort has gone out of London
to her sister’s - or so the neighbour tells us after she saw
us banging at the door without answer.
AREA SW
2SW
When first we enter, we are met by Langdale Pike who
wears a sorrowful grimace on his face. The day is slowly
growing longer, and we use it as an excuse not to share in
the depressing state Langdale seems to be in. We ask him
what he knows about our current investigations.
“Well most of the stuff you’re talking about are not
my speciality. But I can tell you something about the
Admiralty and the issues they had 10 years ago. During
that time I was focusing a lot on big London companies
and where their money actually went. Somewhere late
1879 the Admiralty lost a lot of property papers. I always
assumed they were stolen, though the Admiralty insisted
it was a flooding - ironically. In the months following,
most of these rights were put on the market again - they
included trade routes, rights of passage, some pieces of
lands, and even rights to some other London companies,
like the Thames Steamboat Co. Most of it was sold for a
fraction of what the Admiralty though it was worth, and
I recall certain companies taking advantage of this.”
“Do you remember what companies these were?”
“No. Sherlock asked me the same thing, but at the
time there was no way of figuring out where the money
came from.”
“Thank you for your help, and we wish you strength.”
5SW
We find Lomax in the London Library with his nose
hidden on a large tome. When we announce our presence
he slowly looks up from his book and takes a few seconds
to return to the real world.
“Hello. Can I help?”
“We assume you have heard of what happened to
Sherlock.”
“Yes, I have, why do you think I’m reading these
books.”
We take a look at the pile of books on the table next
to Lomax and see titles such as The Encyclopedia Of
London Fires, How To Deal With Death, Gas Leaks
And Other House Dangers, and even an Army Manual
On Explosives. It appears that whatever grief Lomax is
feeling, he is hiding it in his books.
“We have learned that you did a small favour for
Sherlock recently.”
“Yes, I did. He asked me for The Times of multiple
dates, going back many years. It took me a while to collect
the specific dates he requested, but I think he found what
he was looking for.”
“Do you know what that was?”
“He said he was trying to figure out a code of some
sort. Apparently The Times was being used for sending
coded messages with directions.”
“Direction to what?”
“Directions on a compass rose, as it turned out.
Sherlock and I looked them up together. We got a book
on army codes used during the Jowaki Expedition in
‘77-’78. Sherlock had a list of words he wanted to double
check.”
“Do you still have that book?”
Lomax stands up and walks behind a large bookshelf,
only to appear from the other side with book in hand.
When he hands it over we hastily go through the thin
booklet. Certain words have been circled.
“I told Sherlock that he wasn’t allowed to draw in
library books, but he never listened.”
Some of the words that are circled include EDGE,
which decodes to mean “North-East”, as well as HEAD,
which means “South”, and also LOST, which means “start”.
There are more words circled, but those have either been
crossed out again, or do not trigger our memories.
“If you want more information, you can always head
back to Watson. Last I heard he was staying a hotel
somewhere near Baker Street.”
“Thank you very much. Is there anything else Sherlock
wanted help with during his time here?”
“He wanted plans of London’s sewer system, but I
told him that he had to go to Land Records if he wanted
those.”
“Thank you again. Goodbye.”
6SW
We try to make our way into the estate of Queen
Victoria, but the shortage of guards has us believe the
building stands empty. The two guards that we meet tell
us we can’t go any further, and we are left to investigate
the building from a distance.
8SW
As we enter Mycroft’s lodging at the Diogenes Club, we
are first met by a large man in a black suit. We recognize
the mysterious figure as the one who was present this
morning at the hospital. It appears the man has not left
Mycroft’s side for the entire day.
We introduce ourselves kindly, but the man gives no
response. Only after giving us a good look over does he
step out of the way to allow us entry to the room. Once
inside, we see Mycroft standing next to the window,
looking outwards.
“Hello there gentlemen. What can I do for you? Wasn’t
I clear enough with my instructions this morning? Two
simple and concise cases for you to solve - that shouldn’t
take too long, now should it?”
“Well, we had some questions. Primarily about-”
“I’ve no time for questions,” Mycroft interrupts. “It is
not like I was speaking in code. If you think I was, then
maybe you should stop what you’re doing and go read
The Times. Detective-work is not for everyone. Now
you’ll have to excuse me. Please see yourselves out.”
We take our leave, all under the watchful eye of the
mysterious figure, who closes the doors behind us.
9SW
After a short wait a half-German half-English man
takes us into a small open office. We ask him about
sewer-systems, connections to St. James Park, and any
other strange behavior in the building in the last 10 years,
but the man is completely befuddled.
“I have worked here for twenzy years, und I have no
idea what you are talking about.”
10SW
We make our way into the Admiralty and find
ourselves confronted with the most obnoxious pencil-
pusher. Unwilling to let us any further we find ourselves
at a loss. Just when we exit, a properly-dress man walks
us by. He is greeted warmly by the valet, and we decide to
test our luck one last time. The man introduces himself as
Mr. Broadly, and he seems happy to help us. As he walks
us beyond the receiving hall, we get the toughest of stink-
eye from the pencil-pusher.
Eventually we find ourselves in the archives of the
Admiralty, and Mr. Broadly is eager to talk to us about
anything. “Get’s quite lonely down here you know. I’m
supposed to have a partner, but why pay a second man
when one is enough, they probably be thinking. Anyway,
what can I do for you?”
We explain our situations, that we have reason to
believe some kind of tunnel was dug in the direction of
the Admiralty and possibly beneath it, and ask the man if
he has ever heard of such a thing.
“Not in my nine years of working here, no. But luck
has it, I used to chat with the old records-keeper quite a
bit in my early days. Seems that we did have some kind of
break-in a long time ago. Always remained a mystery to
the poor man, maybe that’ll be the thing you’re referring
to...”
“What kind of break-in was this? What was taken?”
“Well I only have second-hand information, and it did
happen about ten years ago, but from what I remember
it wasn’t a normal break-in. It happened somewhere in
the October before I started working here. No one knows
how they came in, or how they left. Maybe the higher-
ups do, but they’ve been keeping it quiet if that was the
case. Anyway, I do recall there being talk of papers being
taken. Important ones. Proof-of-ownerships. Of course
that doesn’t mean whoever has the papers is suddenly
the owner of whatever was written on it, but it did put
the Admiralty on some rough seas when it came to
their claims abroad. I don’t know if it’s connected, but
I remember in my early years there was talk of letting
people go, apparently some of their trade-deals abroad
had gone belly-up, and new ownership had swooped in.”
“Was there anything specific, like a major trade-route
that was compromised?”
“Well, again, I don’t know the specifics. I keep records,
I don’t make them. But from what I recall, the one that
impacted us here the most was the trade-deal with India’s
harbours. Not because of its profit: that was mediocre.
But it was a big hassle to get it back and proof ownership.
Some anonymous fellow had bought up the rights almost
instantly after the proof-of-ownerships went missing. If
you want more information, maybe go talk to a foreign
news reporter or something in the likes. Besides, the
higher-ups never told me anything. The only time I
felt like I was getting a glimpse behind the curtain was
when I saw a shipping bill come by for some Thames-
adjacent company on Upper Ground Street. It didn’t look
suspicious or anything, just thought it was weird for a
company to be there.”
“Why so?”
“Well I grew up on the other side of the street, and for
all I know that area has always been deserted.”
We get the feeling the Mr. Broadly has told as
everything he knows of interest, and also that if we wait
for him to finish talking, we’ll be stuck here for the rest
of the day. “Thank you kindly for the information, Mr.
Broadly.”
“Sure, sure. Any time. Feel free to drop by again some
day. Always nice to have visitors.”
11SW
When we enter the War Office and try to instruct the
desk clerk as to what brought us here, we are interrupted
by the man.
“Journalists? Or general public?” The man waits for a
moment, as we think on what to answer. “Well either way
I can assure you the Char Asiab Battle is well planned and
will be exceptionally executed. The boat will leave this
evening for India, from where troops lead by Sebastian
Moran will be making their way into the Afghan regions.
I can’t share any further information. Next!” The man
shakes his hand in the air, beckoning the person behind
us to come forward.
“Well, actually, we were here with other queries.
About a tunnel that could have been dug from St. James
Park all the way to this building.”
“Oh don’t be daft! Never heard such nonsense before.
Next!”
12SW
When we enter the Treasury we look for someone to
answers some questions about the nearby sewer system.
However, it soon becomes clear no one has anything to
share with it. It seems we might have picked the wrong
destination.
13SW
We make our way into the well-known offices of
Scotland Yard. Though normally not that welcoming,
today we find the clerk to be agreeable. It appears Mycroft
has send word ahead of our arrival. We inform the clerk
of our interest in Mrs. Jamieson.
“She is being interviewed as we speak. If you want I
can see if you can join.”
The clerk excuses himself and returns after a few
minutes. He beckons us to follow, and takes us to the
room adjacent to the interview room. Inside, we find a
man standing in the dark, looking through a window.
The window is a two-way mirror, and shows us Martha
Jamieson sitting at a table. The man presses a finger
against his lips.
*ssshh*
We close the door behind us, and a moment later
the door of the interview room opens and a man walks
in. From our observation room we are able to hear
everything.
“Hello again, Martha. I brought you some tea.”
The man sets down a steaming cup of tea on the table.
Mrs. Jamieson takes the cup and holds it with both hands.
Her eyes stare off into the distance.
The man in our room whispers to us, “She’s quite
shook up about hearing her two friends are missing.
Whatever horrible things these ladies did, they were still
good friends.”
“So tell me again what you wanted to share, Martha.”
The detective in the interview room continues.
“Well,” Mrs. Jamieson clears her throat with a small
cough. “Well, I was quite surprised by Inspector Brown’s
visit to Millbank. He visited all three of us, and put quite
the scare on me.”
“What did he say?”
“He was furious with us - he’s Sam’s brother you see
- and he wanted revenge. I don’t know why they even let
him into the building, let alone talk to us. He misused his
position to make personal threats. For once I was happy
to be in a prison surrounded by lawful guards.” She lets
out a forced chuckle.
The detective sits down in front of her, and look her
in the eyes. “That sounds serious, Martha. But as my
colleague told me, there were some other matters you
wanted to discuss. Ones related to your case.”
“Yes - true. The thing is… I’m not one of those dumb
crooks. I’m not going to sit here and convince you I’m
innocent. I did what I did. But all I’m saying is that it
wasn’t just me. Not just me and the girls. It’s true I shared
the idea with them. The idea to solve each other’s issues,
so to say. But it wasn’t me who came up with it.”
“Then who did?”
“Well, one day I was at the Cavendish Club - that’s
where our husbands used to go and waste our money.
Well, like I said, one day I was there, seeing what my
husband was up to. He didn’t show, but I did meet a
stranger. He was charming and nice, and we started to
talk. One thing let to another, and after a few drinks we
were discussing murder plots.”
“Just like that?” The detective asks suspiciously.
“It’s all a bit hazy, but I tell you, this man gave me the
plan. It was only later that I realized that he couldn’t have
come up with this plan, unless he knew intimate details
about our marriages. He had to know who did what, and
when they did it.”
“Do you remember his name?”
“He never gave one.”
“Okay. Then, take me through that entire day, step by
step.”
As Mrs. Jamieson goes into full detail of that day, the
man in our room ushers us into the hallway.
“As you can see, Mrs. Jamieson has some wild
accusations. It is our job to investigate these, but I hold
small hope they’ll lead anywhere. Strange men in clubs,
murder plots, it’s all a bit far fetched.”
“Thank you for letting us sit in, nonetheless,” we say
kindly. “Did you discover anything already, in regards to
her new claims?”
 “She did mention that Mr. Brown and Mr. Roster, but
not her own husband, Mr. Jamieson, received money from
some source outside of work. Quite reasonable amounts.
We looked into it, and though it seems unlikely, it is not
entirely impossible for them to have gained additional
funds for the last 10 years.”
“Did Mrs. Jamieson also say what this money was
for?”
“She claims that it was hush-money. To keep both men
quiet. They apparently saw something in October of ‘79.
Something they shouldn’t have. Furthermore, she claims
that both men were starting to ask for more money, and
that was right before she met this mysterious man in The
Cavendish Club. It’s all hearsay, and we can’t interview
the other two women to confirm any of this.”
The detective waves his hands as if the entire story
was made up out of thin air. We talk for a bit more, but
most of what Mrs. Jamieson wants to share with Scotland
Yard is information that cannot be confirmed, or sounds
made up. Before we take our leave, however, we ask the
detective about a more recent case: yesterday’s fire at
Clarence Robinson’s.
“That, unfortunately, I wasn’t involved in. So I have
no clue. If you’re looking for a general report on the
case I could bring you one. But seeing as you did an
investigation yourselves, I don’t know of what use that
would be.”
We thank the man and leave. On our way out we
realize that we might have used up all the information
Scotland Yard propper has to offer us. If we want to know
more, we will have to delve other veins, like Scotland
Yard’s Criminology Lab, or even the Police Gazette.
14SW
From the moment we enter we are are thrown into
bureaucratic paperwork and have to fill out three forms
before we are even able to ask any questions. After another
four-page form we finally meet someone who can answer
our questions. Unfortunately, they have nothing useful to
share with us.
22SW
Next to the front doors of Scotland Yard’s Criminology
Laboratory we find Murray smoking a fag. He greets
us warmly, and after finishing his smoke and having a
short chat about how sorry he is for us to hear about the
explosion, he takes us inside.
“I always find it best to focus on what needs doing,
not on what has already happened. For instance,” Murray
points at a table full of household objects. “This is stuff
that was given to me from Baker Street. Those over there,”
he points to another table full of stuff. “Also came from
Baker Street. However, those I’ve already analyzed, and I
can say with some certainly what happened, even though
not everything has been gone through.”
“Please share with us your findings,” we say.
“It was easy to believe a single explosion caused
all this damage, but I remember hearing about your
testimonies - about a fire spreading across the rooms
before any explosion went off. This fact got me thinking,
and I believe I have found something interesting.”
He picks up a basket we recognize as having once
stood just outside Sherlock’s private room.
“From these burn marks here I can tell you that the
initial fire was an oil fire. Most likely from a spilled
lantern. They spread quickly, and can cause quite a lot of
smoke, though they often burn out pretty quickly.”
Murray picks up another objects, this time it’s a big
book. As he lifts it up, some of the pages break off and fall
on the table.
“This is one of the books gathered from the back
room. As you can see by the tearing of the cover, and
even the papers inside, a shockwave tore it apart. This
cannot be done by normal flames - only by something
more powerful. Like an explosion.”
“What kind of explosion could that be?”
“Can’t say really. Any type. As long as it’s strong
enough. Whatever it was, it had to be rather big. Not
something you could throw through the window.”
Murray’s eyes narrow and he stares off in the distance,
in deep thought.
“Maybe I have something else that could be of use to
you as well.”
He walks over to a nearby desk, opens a container,
and grabs a stack of papers.
“Last time I saw Sherlock, he came around to ask after
the mortician of a funeral parlor. Sherlock was under the
impression something strange might have been going on
there. He asked me to look into a list of people that came
through here. Corpses, I mean. All deceased criminals,
as it turned out. This was a couple months ago. Sherlock
was under the impression some of the names might not
have matched the bodies. I was not part of the rest of his
investigation, but I remember he visited Quintin Hogg
directly after leaving here.”
“Thank you for your time, Murray.”
23SW
When we enter the offices of Millbank Prison, we are
instantly greeted by Mr. Fairmouth, the Head Warden.
We are taken into his private office, and offered tea. After
he tells us that he expected our arrival, we change the
topic to the missing prisoners.
“Alright, so the two prisoners that went missing earlier
this morning were Mrs. Mabel Brown and Mrs. Emily
Roster, each charged with one count of murder. They
were destined to move to an all-women’s penitentiary
just outside of the city. We loaded them onto the carriage
this morning, but neither the two prisoners, the carriage,
nor the driver have been seen since.”
“Could you tell us what route the carriage was
supposed to take?”
“The carriage exit leads to Grosvenor Road, next to
the Thames, after which the carriage went southwards.
This I know for a fact, as I could see it from here.”
Mr. Fairmouth points out of the window. We look
into that direction and indeed have a visual on part of
Grosvenor Road.
“After that, the carriage was supposed to make a left
turn, going over Vauxhall Bridge, and then a right turn
to get out of the city. After we received word that the
prisoners never arrived at their destination, we checked
with the bridge master at Vauxhall Bridge, and he claims
never to have seen any prison carriage cross today. We
asked similar questions further south on Grosvenor
Road, leading out of the city, and there, too, we received
the same answers. That leads me to believe the carriage
went westwards, instead of crossing the bridge.”
“Who was the carriage driven?”
“I don’t know to be honest. The men working here
take long shifts, and they often fill in for one another
when need be. I did a head count when news broke, and
I still have three names unaccounted for. Two must have
had the night shift, and are now resting at home, the
other must be our missing driver.”
The man scrolls through a pile of small notes on his
table. The desk holds a large collection of clutter and junk
- it appears the Head Warden is not a tidy man.
“The names of my three wardens are Bernard Nims,
Ralph Owen, and James Piper. When we find out who
went missing, I’ll be sure to let you know. So tell me, how
can I most easily contact you?”
We give him an address of where we collect our post,
which he writes down on a torn piece of paper, which
quickly disappears between the large mess.
“Can you explain to us why Mrs. Jamieson was not on
the carriage this morning?” We ask.
“Ah, yes. The third member of what the press likes to
call the Winter Windows, Mrs. Martha Jamieson, was
scheduled to be transported as well. But late last night
she said she had new information to share in an ongoing
case. As is procedure we had someone from Scotland
Yard interview her, and as it turns out she really did have
something useful to share. This morning, before the
carriage left, they took her to Scotland Yard for further
interviews.”
“Do you know what kind of information she had to
share?”
“I only know what my wardens told me. Which was
something about hush-money that her friends’ husbands
were receiving, and from whom - that sort of thing. Also
that she was given the murder plan by some mysterious
man, but she’s been saying that ever since she arrived.”
“Murder plan?”
“The idea that each woman kills another woman’s
husband, whilst the wife of said husband has an alibi.
She probably thought it was a brilliant idea. But when
they got caught she started blaming someone else for her
mistakes. I’ve seen it a hundred times over.”
“Lastly, was there any reason for Mrs. Jamieson to
want to be interviewed by Scotland Yard now, as opposed
to last week, or last month?”
“Maybe she needed more time to think, or maybe
she was spooked by that other detective that came round
demanding interviews with all three prisoners.”
“This other detective, what was his name?”
“Mr. Brown - same name as one of the prisoners, I
know - but he assured me that there was no family-
connection.”
“Thank you, Mr. Fairmouth. You’ve been most
helpful.”
33SW
Soldiers are being prepared for this evening’s journey
from London Harbour to India, after which they will
make their way into the Afghan regions. We are hard
pressed to find a commanding officer willing to spend
more than two minutes on us.
When we finally catch an officer willing to listen, after
having forced his troops to perform fifty pushups, we are
sad to discover he knows nothing about any secret sewers
from St. James Park. We leave the men be and take our
leave.
34SW
The former house of David and Emily Roster stands
abandoned. Apparently the murdered and murderer’s
homestead has not found new ownership. When we try
the door, we discover it is closed, but not locked. A quick
jab at the sides allows us the force open the door and
investigate inside. Not much has changed since last we
saw, and even some of the police’s markings have been
left behind. An eerie feeling hangs in the air when we
make our way further inwards.
Our investigation of the entire house holds few new
facts. Until we make our way to the upstairs bathroom.
There, behind a loose tile underneath the sink, we find a
hidden compartment. To our dismay it holds nothing but
a few cobwebs. However it is clear that something was
hidden here at one point or another.
35SW
When we try to gain entrance to the Palace Grounds,
or at least gain a face-to-face with someone who could
give us some answers, we are continuously denied access.
Pressing the dire circumstances of our situation helps
little, and even mentioning that we think something
might be arwy has little effect. It is only when we use the
full weight of Mycroft’s name that the guards go and get
an officer.
Again, we explain our case, and are sure to mention
Mycroft Holmes sent us on this task, and after much
nervous looks and sighs we are taken into a small
outhouse to meet the Private Secretary of the Queen.
“Hello gentlemen, I am Sir Henry Ponsonby, and I
have been informed that you carry news from Mycroft.
Please share it hastily so I may resume my duties.”
“At this point we have little to share. Instead, we come -
on Mycroft’s behalve - to gain answers to a few questions.
Primarily about a type of tunnel that was possibly made
earlier this year, and about a break-in.”
“Well, I see Mycroft shares his information readily.
It is true a tunnel was found on the Palace Grounds,
hailing from Green Park. But I can assure you nothing
was taken. The tunnel was quickly discovered, and closed
up. Even though it ended close to the Royal Safe, nothing
was touched.”
“Isn’t the Royal Safe where Queen Victoria’s Crown
is kept?”
“Indeed it is. But once again, I assure you it was not
taken. It still stands there today, under heavy guard…
and I know what you’re thinking. I can also assure you
it is not a fake. We had London’s foremost jewelry expert
inspect it.”
“And may we speak with this man?”
‘“That is not up to me. He does not work on the
Grounds, but rather, he owns a shop. Garrard his name
is. He had a full notebook written on all the unique
qualities of the crown, and was able to identify the crown
in great detail.“
Mr. Ponsonby takes a quick look at his watch and
reminds us that he should really get back to his duties.
We take our leave and are escorted off the Grounds.
36SW
As we try to gain access to the Palace Grounds to
investigate the Royal Mews, we draw close enough to see
the horses and carriages stored there, but are promptly
halted by the guards. We make our case, but to no avail,
and leave empty handed.
37SW
We hoped that we would find something of great
value here, but are instead left with the feeling that we
must have not paid attention in one of Sherlock’s lessons.
Though the station is an important landmark, it seems to
have no connection to any of our ongoing cases.
71SW
Looking for a place the prisoners from Millbank
Prison could have escaped to leads us to a nearby hotel.
However, no matter how badly we want our visit to be
fruitful, we find nothing that aids us in our investigations.
75SW
We make our way down from Vauxhall Bridge Road,
along the embankment, and ask around the massive
apartment complex. Unfortunately, no one has seen a
carriage holding two women today.
76SW
Taking a bit of a stab in the dark, we walk around the
building block between Vauxhall Bridge Road and Lupus
Street. After completing almost the entire circle around
the block, we stop at a small shed, which stands between
two buildings. The shed itself has no discerning features.
However, we notice wheel marks in the mud leading into
the sheld.
We open the heavy door and go inside. Where we find
what we were looking for. The Millbank Prison carriage
is stationed here, though it seems to have been left in a
hurry. The horse is still attached to it, and looks around
when we approach.
As we draw closer to investigate, we notice two
massive red stains on the wooden floorboards. It is a
gruesome scene, and to whomever this blood belonged,
they surely are no longer alive.
There is no sign of bodies, however. The carriage is
empty, both inside and on the front driver’s seat, and the
shed holds nothing but some old rusty tools that have
been laying in a corner for a couple years.
When we make our way back outside we call over a
nearby bobby and alert him to the crime scene that we
discovered. Afterwards, we ask some locals if they saw
anything early this morning, or possible heard anything.
But most were either asleep, or already off to work.
84SW
We knock on the door of Mr. Owen’s apartment, and
after a moment a groggy faced individual opens the door.
“What do you want?” The man says in a sleepy voice.
“Are you Ralph Owen?”
“Yes. What do you want?”
“We just wanted to make sure you were alright, Mr.
Owen. It appears one of the wardens at Millbank has
gone missing.”
The man shrugs.
“We knew it had to be either Bernard Nims, James
Piper, or you.”
“Try James then, Bernard and I were both on night-
shift.”
We make our apologies for waking Mr. Owen, and
leave him be.
96SW
Opposite the Green Park entrance we try to make
our way into the Buckingham Palace Gardens. Though
normally open to public - to some degree - today we are
stopped by guards posted at the entrance. We do our
best to explain our reasons for being here, but are told to
make our case at Buckingham Palace propper.
97SW
We make our way through the park and try to find
whatever it is the clues hinted towards, but to no avail.
After walking around and scavenging through the bushes
for two hours or so, we take a break from our labour and
rest on one of the benches. Across the trees to the south
we can see the tops of Buckingham Palace.
After a few moment we regain our breath, but not our
enthusiasm. “There must be a smarter way of doing this,”
one of us points out. “What would Sherlock do?”
We think back on all the strange behavior and requests
made by Sherlock, and think of ways our teachings could
help us in our current predicament. Just then, we see a
homeless man going through the nearby trash. We all
jump up simultaneously and nearly startle the man into
running away.
 “Hold on there, we just wanted to ask you something,
no trouble will come your way, we promise.”
The man in his dirty jacket slowly makes his way to
our bench. “What’s in it for me?”
We hand the man a coin and his attitude changes from
suspicious to friendly within the blink of an eye.
“Well then, what can I do for people of such high
esteem? Maybe a foot massage or is your carriage nearby
so that I may clean it?” The man gives deep bow with a
flourishing hand, a few inches short of patronizing.
“We were having a small issue, and were pondering
a solution when you happened to come by. Our mentor
taught us that folk like you hold all the information on
the London streets, and we would like to make use of it.
Did you happen to see something going on in this park
in the middle of January, this year?”
“In winter? You wouldn’t catch any of my kin being
around here that time of year.”
“How about when you returned to this park after
winter?”
“Well there was the sewer entrance that was made up
north. But that looked like a failed project to me.”
“How so? Did someone from Land Records say that?”
“Land Records? Ha! Don’t make me laugh. It’s much
simpler, it was the smell - there wasn’t any! Normally
you’d wanna stay away from a sewer entrance, but this
one never smelled, so I guess it didn’t connect well, or
had blockage or something.”
We ask the man to show us the spot, and after a few
minutes walk to the northernmost point of the park, we
come upon a small clearing within a thick line of bushes.
With the clear skies we can easily see downwards through
the grate, and see the small tunnel underneath leading
straight south. It is dry down there, and indeed also clean
and odorless.
“You’re not the first person to ask me about this, you
know,” the homeless man says.
“Then who was?”
“Oh, just this man. Well-dressed, deerstalker hat, pipe,
long trench coat. Talked real fast and hardly seemed to
pay attention. Quite a lot of us street folk do some work
for him actually. He’s a smart man. Maybe you could
learn a thing or two from him.”
“Maybe we could.”
98SW
Our carriage drops us off at York Street, and we make
our way north to Birdcage Walk, adjacent to the park.
Entering through its southern entrance, we find ourselves
surrounded by chirping birds and people out on a walk.
It’s hard to decide what precisely we are looking for, so we
spread out to cover more ground.
It seemed like hours, but eventually we come across
something rather unusual. Halfway between the southern
entrance and the center lake, hidden behind some bushes,
there is an old sewer entrance. The odd thing about it
is not only the overgrowth that clearly shows it has not
been tended to in many years, but that it is sealed with
chain and lock.
Further inspection of the area, as well as the manhole
itself reveals little. However, there is a small gap, through
which the lock protrudes, which gives us the tiniest of
glimpses to what lies underneath. No flowing water -
or other unmentionables - can be seen or heard. To our
pleasant surprise it does not even smell.
Grabbing one of the nearby pebbles, we try to force it
through the gap, to see how deep it is.
*tick-tick-tick*
The pebble bounces a few times before landing at the
bottom. The sewer is maybe a man’s-height deep, and
slowly curves off. Looking at our surroundings, we guess
it leads directly north-east, but for how long it continues
is hard to say.
After our discovery we speak to a few passers-by.
None proof very useful to our investigation, except for
the reminder that the Head Clerk of Land Records should
have all the information about London’s sewer systems -
if indeed it was a sewer that we had just discovered.

16NW
Once again we make our way into Ladies Couriers,
and find ourselves greeted by the same employee.
“Ah. It’s you again. Here to ask us for information we
won’t share? As I said before, we don’t share our clients’
names. Not for any reason.”
“Rest assured, we come only because of a clue
we received. It appears that some of your clients - or
should we say ex-clients - have come into some trouble.
Additionally, we found a letter stamped with your logo
during our investigation. We were just wondering if you
could enlighten us as to the connection, if there is even
such a thing.”
“I assure you there is none. Now if you wouldn’t mind
leaving, we have had quite enough of this harassment.”
Unsuccessfully we leave the building and wonder
where to go next. Then, suddenly, another employee
runs out after us. The young girl with big glasses seems
unfamiliar to us.
“I’m sorry for running after you, but I couldn’t help
but overhear. I only started working here a couple of
months ago, and I can’t say I know anything about what
you were talking about, but something strange happened
last week and I feel like you should know.”
“Should we find some place to talk more privately?”
We suggest.
“No, no. Nothing is wrong. Per se. It’s just that I had a
weird request from a client, and when I asked about it to
my boss she just told me to go along with it. The whole
thing felt off, and I thought that maybe it’ll be of use to
you.”
“What is it? What happened?”
“Well I often make copies of messages, in case people
want it sent to more than just one recipient. So I started
noticing that a lot of these copies go to the same address,
or at least they used to. The original letters were from
multiple people, I don’t recall them all, but I’m sure that
the three women who were arrested earlier this year for
those three murders were amongst those whose letters
were affected. Again, my boss says it’s all fine. And it’s not
like I can tell you what’s going on, if anything is going
on at all. But I remember the address I was sending the
copies to was 63 West-Central. Hope it helps.”
We thanks the bright young lady gratefully, and wish
her a good day.
18NW
We walk into the Parsons and Sons Toy Shoppe and
are greeted by the man we know to be called Fred Porlock.
He waves us over, whilst eyeing the other customers
warily. He asks us our names and then grabs a box from
under the counter and gives it to us.
We open it and inside we find a marionette. When we
pull the wooden cross out of the box, the puppet dangles
from the wires in front of us. It holds little defining
features, though on its well-tailored suit it holds an
uppercase M, sewn into the breast pocket. The puppet
is holding a marionette of its own, in its right hand. This
smaller puppet is dressed similarly, only it has a lowercase
M, sewn into its suit. It also holds two objects; one in
each hand. In its left hand, the smaller puppet holds what
seems like a ball of fire, and it its right hand it holds two
pairs of handcuffs. On top of the smaller puppet’s head
stands a crown.
We make a quick sketch of the puppet, and place
it back in the box. As we do so, a small plush hat falls
from one of the small pockets on one of the puppets. We
recognize it instantly as a deerstalker hat, though this
specific hat has the flag of India pinned into it.
Placing everything back into the box, we tell Fred
Porlock that there must have been a mistake, and that we
received the wrong order. Then, we take out leave from
the shop before drawing any attention to ourselves.
25NW
We don’t have to wait long in the common room of
The Cavendish before a woman working there ask us
our poison. Though normally we would decline to order
drinks, last-night’s events have left us feeling otherwise. It
appears the hostess picks up on our grief, and she begins a
friendly chat with us. After she manages to lift our spirits
somewhat, we carefully pry into the clientele of the club.
“Well, not much to say really. Was there anyone in
particular you were wondering about? Sometimes I
get angry housewives coming here looking for their
husbands, but you lot don’t seem the type.”
“No, indeed. We are looking for anything that might
have been left out in regards to a case we solved last
January. You might remember, three men were murdered,
all of whom were regulars here.”
“Yes, nasty business that. It was the same day I went
for a short holiday up north - I only heard about it when
I came back. By that time the case was closed apparently,
so police never bothered to ask me. But I indeed think I
have something to share. It was somewhere in the first
week of the year that I had one of the ladies over. One
of the three that was charged with murder, I mean. Mr.
Jamieson’s wife, I think it was. We don’t normally get
women, and if we do they don’t stay long. But she stayed
for quite a while, even chatting with a man at the bar. She
ended up leaving less angry than she arrived.”
“Could you tell us more about this stanger?”
“I don’t remember his name, but I remember he was
an army-man.”
“Did he wear a uniform?”
“No, it was his general demeanor that gave me the
impression: calm and collective. He had been in here
before, a couple of times. He met with Mr. Brown and
Mr. Roster every so often.”
“Do you know what they were discussing?”
“Nothing special that I recall. Normally they would
have a short chat and then the man would leave again.
Last time it happened was around New Year’s Eve. I
remember it so clearly because everybody in the club was
in a jovial mood, except for those three. Apparently Sam
and David had some money issues, and the man wasn’t
all too happy about it. They were making a row, until the
man left quietly and suddenly. It was the topic of all the
rumours for the next week here.”
“Do you also recall the first time these three men met
here?”
“Oh, they go way back. From before I started working
here.”
“And when did you start working here, if we may ask?”
“Beginning of 1880.”
Then suddenly another voice joins the conversation,
“Wait. Don’t I know you lot?”
The sly-looking manger of The Cavendish fingers
his pencil-thin moustache and eyes us over one-by-one.
“Yeah, I remembers. You all were here during winter,
trying to scare away my clientele, asking question
nobody wants to hear.” His grim face grows grimming,
to the point that we fear the vein on his forehead might
explode.
“We are here on other business now. We won’t disturb
anybody. Just here for a drink and a chat.”
“A chat about what?”
“About a man who came here some time back.”
The manager doesn’t change in expression, but
through his teeth says “When?”
“Well, we don’t quite know. We found a box of matches
in the man’s apartment, which lead us here.”
“Who’s apartment?” He says steemingly.
“Well… We don’t quite know.”
At that the man burst into a rage and shouts obsanity
after obsanity at us, until the strong-arms usher us
through the front door and back on the streets.

Hoping that a busy hotel would hold interesting
people who are willing to share what they know was a
good idea on paper. In practice, however, both the staff
and residents have little to add to our investigations.
36NW
Once again we are greeted by Watson, who beckons
us into the common room of the hotel, where he was
reading today’s newspapers. He takes out his notebook
from his breast pocket.
“So you’re here for a quick revisit to the past. Well,
let’s get started then. In the case that is now known as
The Cutting Edge of Winter, we arrested three women for
the murders of three men. The three women, also known
as the Winter Widows, were Mabel Brown, Martha
Jamieson, and Emily Roster. Each of them murdered the
husband of another. Firstly, on January 8th, Mabel Brown
murdered Frank Jamieson in the train, whilst the two
other women cause a scene at Goldini’s restaurant, on
the other side of town. Secondly, on January 9th, Emily
Roster murders Sam Brown in Regent’s Park, whilst
the remaining two ladies made sure they are noticed at
Appenrodt’s German restaurant - again, on the other
side of town. Thirdly, and lastly, in the evening of the
9th, Martha Jamieson murders David Roster in his own
home, while his wife is sure to be spotted at a nearby
hotel. We figured all this out by going to the Central
Carriage Stables and getting records of their movements,
as well as discovering that all three ladies used the Ladies
Couriers service to communicate.”
Watson takes a few sips of his tea before starting on
his second lecturing. In the meantime, we, too, were
given tea, from which we readily sip before having to give
Watson our full attention.
“Yesterday, at the fire at Clarence Robinson Funerals,
we discovered that two people died, and three already-
deceased bodies were burned. The two who died were
Walter Latham and Paolo Veronesi. Mr. Latham was the
mortician at Clarence Robinson’s, about whom I’ll have
more to say, but I’ll get back to that. The other man, Paolo
Veronesi, was a homeless Italian looking for any kind of
work. In 1888 he fled Rome to escape the cholera outbreak,
but had hard times finding a job here in London. He was
tasked by Harrison Beaufort, a local dentist, to steal jars
of chloroform. Mr. Beaufort used these in a new type of
dentistry. The three corpses that were being worked on
by Mr. Latham that night were that of Patricia Carey, an
elderly lady, John Mobley, a beloved businessman, and
what we first assumed was Clint Wallace. However, as it
turns out, sailor Clint Wallace was still alive and well, and
it was instead Jerome Emmons whose body was burned.
As you can imagine, the swapping of names at a funeral
parlor is a serious mistake, one a professional like Mr.
Latham wouldn’t make by accident. Therefore, I now
have reason to believe Mr. Latham purposefully swapped
out the names. For what reason, or for whom, I am not
sure of.”
By this time all of us take one big sip of tea. Watson
catches his breath for a moment, and continues.
“That’s all I think I can say about the previous cases -
at least you now know all the parts that are relevant. But I
can also tell you this: I’ve been looking at the newspapers
of the dates that were most relevant in previous cases. I
don’t know if you had discovered this already, but there is
a single newspaper article that appears twice, in almost the
exact same wording. Maybe that was the code Sherlock
was talking about. I’m sure that the location listed in that
article would be of interest to your investigation. I would
not be surprised to find out it has something to do with
Victoria’s Crown that was stolen earlier this year.”
“How are you certain it was stolen?” We ask.
“I’m not. But it would answers a lot of my questions.”
40NW
We walk up to the large doorway we once knocked on
in the past, and are greeted by a young man. He appears
to be the new owner of the building and explains that
after Mr. Brown’s death, and the imprisonment of Mrs.
Brown, the house went for sale at a low price.
The man is eager to talk about his negotiation-skills
and tells us that when rumours started spreading that
Mr. Brown was receiving hushed payments from an
unknown source - further corrupting the image of the
man, and therefore his homestead - that the price for this
house dropped even lower.
“What a great deal!” The man nearly shouts out
laughing. “But anyway, do you also want to have a look
around the house?”
“Also?” we ask.
“Well the last inspector wanted to anyway. His brother,
he said he was. Don’t know what he was looking for, but
seemed important that he have one last look at the place.”
We thank the man for his time.
42NW
We make our way down Baker Street and find ourselves
once more in front of 221-B. When last we were here the
building was still in flames, yet now all that remains are
the blackened walls and window frames of the upper
floors. The fire has been put out and the fire brigade has
packed up and left, though there is still a bobby at the
entrance to stop anyone from going in. When we walk up
to the house we are called for by a familiar voice.
“Good to see you, gentlemen,” says Watson in a
sympathetic voice. “I didn’t know if you would be
returning here, but I think it was smart of you to do
so. That was quite a scare we all got yesterday. I’ve been
trying to wrap my brain around it all, but it appears grief
lays too heavy on my mind.”
Watson looks up at the charred building and fiddles
with his kerchief. We together make our way to the other
side of the street, and ask after Watson’s wellbeing. He
assures us he has recovered from yesterday’s ordeal,
though only in body and not in mind. We tell him of the
investigation Mycroft has put us on.

Unfortunately for us, the man in charge of the stables
still remembers us from last January. After we caused
quite the uproar, our investigations got multiple people
charged with crimes of false identities and unregistered
labour. As it appears, the man was not involved, but his
friends were, and he isn’t too keen on helping us out any
time soon.

Whilst normally we are told to wait and be patient,
today Disraeli comes to collect us from the main hall
almost instantly.
“I heard the news. Were you there when it happened?
My God, it sounds frightening. I do hope everybody
made it out without severe injuries. I haven’t heard from
Sherlock yet, is he alright? Or just busy with this case I
presume.”
We don’t have the heart to tell him of the grave news,
and change the topic quickly by explaining our haste in
the current matters.
“Ah. Sewer systems. That’s not something I look up
every day. Give me a moment.” He takes his leave and
comes back readily with multiple containers of maps and
charts. Folding some of them out, he continues. “London’s
first sewer system was opened only in 1870, but a lot has
been done since. The main intercepting sewers only total
six, and they lead to London’s ‘lost’ rivers. As you can see
on this map.” He points at a massive chart of London,
and the various lines that dart across it. After a few more
minutes of explaining the rich history of London’s sewers,
he suddenly pauses, pressing a finger to his lips.
“Strange. Very strange.” He pulls up two maps and
places them aside one another, looking at them like a dog
staring at a tennis ball in play. “It seems some sewer lines
were made, but then disbanded. See, here.”
He points at a small red line that goes from somewhere
around Hanover Square to beyond Buckingham Palace,
on the line there is a single dot, at the north point of
Green Park. We ask him about what that could be.
“Oh that’s to mark where the diggings begin. From
the looks of this one, I’d say they started in the center,
and went southwards, only to go northwards when they
reached the southernmost point. But wait, what’s this
then.” He shifts his finger and now points at a blue line.
“Another one that does exist in the early plans, but does
not show up in the final map. Odd.”
The blue line seems to run from Wellington Barracks
to the Admiralty, and has a large dot in south St. James
Park.
“Both lines intersect with existing sewer pipes, so they
could have easily been made, but why they were planned
in the first place remains a mystery to me. Unfortunately
I can’t tell you when the planning began, or even from
what year this map is - after the flooding from a couple
years ago, we have had only partial charts on most of the
city’s original plans.”
The strange occurrence has left Disraeli somewhat
speechless and unresponsive. We eventually find our
own way out to the streets.

Besides from an old woman walking her dog, the
narrow street remains empty.

We visit the Somerset House in hopes that we can
learn something about all the different victims today’s,
yesterday’s, and January’s crimes have caused. As far as
the previous cases go, we learn nothing new. However,
when we are about to leave, we are asked to enter a
small side room. There, a barrister explains that we were
mentioned by name in Sherlock Holmes’ last will and
testament.
Unsure of what to expect, we let the man read
the paper. As it turns out, Sherlock has left us a small
envelope. After signing for it, we take it and open it on
the spot. Inside, we find a receipt for a boat ticket. The
ticket the receipt belonged to is from London, England,
to Mumbai, India,.

The dentist office has not been closed down, though
the lack of customers is a clear indication that it will have
hard time ahead. The man now running the show, we
recognize as the former-assistant to Mr. Beaufort. We ask
him a few questions, but as it turns out, he knew little of
Mr. Beaufort’s life outside of work.
50WC
As we make our way across the corner of Phoenix
Road, onto Charlton Street, we are shocked to see three
bobbies bashing against a door. They take turns shoulder
bashing into it, and we hasten our step, as they are
currently bashing on the door of Mr. Brown. Once there,
one of the officers bashes the door of its hinges and falls
into the hallway. The other two rush into the building
and run to the back of the building. A few seconds later
there is a yell.
“All clear, Sir!”
As we walk up to the now empty door frame, the
bobby stands up and acknowledges our presence.
“Sorry, lads. Police business. I’ll have to ask you to
stay back.”
“We’re not here by chance. Mr. Brown has come up in
one of our investigations and we need to speak with him.”
 “Your investigations? You detectives?”
We nod, and add, “We only require a quick word. Just
tying up some loose ends.”
One of the officers from the back comes and joins us,
and talks silently to the officers we are speaking with.
“Well, I’m afraid that won’t be possible. The reason we
came barging in here is because we heard a gunshot. As it
turns out, Mr. Brown has taken his own life. It’s a ghastly
scene, but if you have the stomach, you can help us figure
out what exactly happened.”
As we make our way further into the house, we come
upon the kitchen, where we see Mr. Brown, on a chair,
with a pistol in his hand, and a large red smear of blood
on the wall behind him. It is indeed a dreadful sight.
“Is it alright if we have a look through the other
rooms?”
“Sure, but I’ll escort ya.”
We make our way into the living room, were we find
a pile of articles on the Winter Widows. There are dirty
dishes all over the room, on the table, side tables, mantle,
and even the floor. It seems Mr. Brown has been living a
squalor’s life recently.
Furthermore, we find a set of celluloid pictures of
alleyways and streets. Most are hard to recognize, but one
sticks out like a sore thumb: a picture of the cellar doors
of Clarence Robinson Funeral Parlor.
Crumbled up in the corner of the room we find a piece
of paper from the Bow Street Police Station. As it turns
out, Mr. Brown was indeed an inspector there. However,
the letter states that he was terminated after ill-conduct
and misuse of resources.
Feeling that we gathered all the clues we could, we
leave the officers to their crime scene.
63WC
Unsure of our destination, we scour through Gower
Street, and end up disturbing elderly people and
housewives readying dinner for their families. After
a vast number of dead-ends, we find a homeless man
sitting on the fifth floor. He is in a drunken stupor, and
is half-leaning besides one of the apartment doors. As we
approach, he turns away, and wanders off.
“Sorry, sir. Could you maybe answers a few questions
for us?”
The man turns his head enough to eye us over one-
by-one. Then, suddenly, he sprily recovers from his
drunkenness, and bolts further into the hallway. We give
half an attempt to pursue, but the man is already half-way
down a set of stairs. Halting at the door he was guarding,
we notice it lacks any type of marking or indication as
to whom lives there. We test the number-less door for a
lock, which it has. Luckily, Sherlock was wise enough to
teach us the basics of picking a lock.
A few moments later we find ourselves inside the
apartment. It’s a small room, with a tiny bathroom
attached. It clearly is not lived in, but still holds all the
expected furniture. Besides from the table, none of the
other areas of the room seem to be in use. We find no
appliances in the kitchen, and no clothing in the closets.
However we soon find out the importance of this room;
on the table lies a map - a detailed map of Baker Street,
and its various alleys and surrounding buildings. We pick
up the map and notice the distinct smell of petrol from
below the table. The floor below is empty and clean, but
the smell still lingers.
As we lift up the map, a small pile of torn up pieces
of papers fly off the table and land sporadically across
the floor. There are at least fifty small pieces, but as we
collected them and try to organize them it becomes clear
that they once formed a single piece of paper. After a few
minutes of good old-fashioned puzzling, we are able to
make out eight parts. However, we are unable to deduce
in what order these parts came, or where they were drawn
on the page originally. The eight parts show four symbols
and four locations. The symbols include a rough drawing
of an elephant, a clock, a crown, and a boat. The locations
include 39 Upper Ground Street, 40 Commercial Road,
13 New Kent Road, and 44 Charterhouse Street. Which
goes with which is hard to say.
We don’t quite know what to make of it at this time,
and instead of wondering about it here, we spend our
time giving the room another look-over. In the trash bag,
we find a hand full of papers. Most are indestiquisable
receipts from restaurants. As well as a couple of train
tickets towards a lot of different cities - mostly harbour
towns. From the remainder of junk, there is only an
empty matchbox from The Cavendish Club, an empty
envelope with a blue stamp of a silhouetted lady in the
top-right corner, and a crumpled piece of paper with
three sets of letters on it; JP AT MP.
Behind the trash can, there is a pile of newspapers.
The dates on them are sporadic, some newspapers going
back many years. The only one that catches our attention
is a The Times from the 20th of March from 1888, as it
has some markings on it. On the front page, multiple
names are marked out in an aggressive manner, partially
tearing the paper. Most of the names are still somewhat
recognizable; below the etches it reads Simcock, Golding,
Partridge, Kent, and Von Schulenberg.
After finding what feels like a gold mine of clues,
we make our way outside. We hope to bump into the
drunken-looking guard again, but it is there that our luck
fails us.
66WC
It appears business as usual at Squire & Sons. We take
the time to talk to the owner, and ask if he has anything
new to share with it. Unfortunately, he does not.
70WC
We enter Bow Street Police Station to answer some
lingering questions about Inspector Brown. The station is
small, in comparison to most police stations, and we are
even greeted by the chief of police himself. He informs
us that he indeed released Inspector Brown of all duties.
“The man was a wreck. After losing his brother, Sam,
he hardly showed any drive to do his job. I told him to
take a leave of absence, but he refused. Later when he
started arriving at work still drunk from the night before,
and shouting about how he was going to seek revenge,
I forced him to leave. On his way out he even stole my
Kodak celluloid camera!”
The chief of police looks to be most sad about his
missing camera. We walk over to Brown’s old desk, and
find that he indeed has not visited it since his brother’s
death. The stack of notes on his desk mostly refer to cases
the police were working on, except one note. Which
simply has a list of names, one of which is circled about
ten times: Sebastian Moran.
71WC
For the second day in a row we make our way towards
the funeral parlor. This time, however, the building
is safe to enter, and after a quick chat with the officers
standing guard outside, we are allowed to do so. Most
of the ground floor survived the fire, though large black
spots mark the floor and lower walls. It is only when we
walk towards the basement stairs that we notice the true
damage. The entire staircase has been charred black, and
we carefully make our way down, hoping it won’t break
under our feet.
When we arrive in the basement we need a moment
for our eyes to adjust. The cellar doors at the back are
open, letting in a bit of light, but beyond that everything
is black. The faint odour of chemicals still lingers, though
most of it has been aired out. Walking over to one of the
small paper signs left behind be the police investigators
that were here before, we are presented with a single
clear footprint. It appears to have been left in some kind
of hardened gelatin. The same gelatine is spilling from
a nearby toppled-over canister, that has also hardened.
We read the label, and learn that it is a product used for
embalming.
The footprint is of average shape, though the size of the
boot suggests a man was here. Because of the solidified
bubbles in the gelatine we get the idea the footprint was
made before the fire started, or at least before the fire got
out of control.
The placement of the footprint is behind an open
closet that separates the room into two areas. The closet
holds many different small tools, as well as multiple jars.
One of the shelves is empty, and on the other side of
the closet we find broken jars. The labels are burned off
completely, unfortunately.
On one side of the basement is a large collection of
tools as well as the cellar doors, and on the other side
we find the workspace of the mortician. It holds three
tables, for corpses to be worked on, which now all stand
empty, except for a layer of black dust and - what we fear
to be - charred pieces of whoever lay there. On the floor
between the tables are two similar black piles.
We scan the room for anything of use, and are drawn
to the farthest corner of the room. There, sticking out
from beneath a pile of soot and ash, is a bright red
corner of a tin container. As we brush away the ash, we
find a collection of tin containers. From our previous
investigations we remember that these types of containers
often house paperwork, when put in the same room
with smelly chemicals - it’s the only way to keep it from
sinking into the paper. For example, Mr. Murray from
the Criminology Laboratory houses his paperwork in a
very similar fashion. The strange thing here, however, is
that we already saw a small office upstairs, and thus there
would be no need for Mr. Latham to have his own.
We investigate and find that most containers hold
various forms and sheets for copying information on the
deceased. As well as forms that deal with the deceased’s
family. A tiny tin box at the back holds a small notebook.
In it, we find a list of names, always in pairs of two. They
seem completely random, and we hardly recognize any
of them. The colour of the ink does give us the idea
that these pairs of names have been put to paper on
many different occasions. One set of names sticks out
to us; Jerome Emmons and Clint Wallace. Both names
we remember from our previous case - though maybe
Watson would have more information on them, since he
was investigating the same crime.
Making our way back up the black staircase we end
up outside and have a short chat with the bobby standing
guard. We show him the notebook with names to see if
any look familiar to him. To our surprise, they do.
“I have no clue who these people are, but some of the
names do sound familiar. There was an investigation into
this place a couple months back. Apparently they were
mixing up people’s identities more often. The whole thing
turned out to be series of mistakes and bad paperwork,
but this notebook you found would suggest something
else.”
We ask the officer for further details on the case, but
all he remembers is what he overheard at his local station.
However, he does remember Inspector Brown being part
of the investigation. When we ask where we can contact
Inspector Brown, the officer shrugs.
“Haven’t a clue. He got forced into early retirement
due to bad behavior, or something like that. Maybe it
had something to do with that old case, because when I
interviewed the locals here, yesterday, his name popped
up multiple times. Apparently he had been seen around
here. It’s always sad to see a detective get so obsessed with
a case.”
“Thank you for your help, and also for letting us
investigate the building.”
“You’re welcome.”

The door is opened by a lady in a bright yellow dress,
who greets us with a warm smile. “You’re here for James?
He lives upstairs, but I’m sorry to say he’s out working at

“Do you live together?”
 “Oh no, I just rent out the upstairs lot to him. It’s

hardly ever makes noise whenever he’s at home.”
“We’re glad to hear Mr. Piper is a good housemate.

“Well, alright. But only a few.”
We make our way up the stairs and into the small
upstairs room of James Piper. We ask the kind lady for
a cup of tea, primarily so that we can be left to our own
devices in this room. After she leaves, we quickly scour
the room for clues. Searching the clothing draws and
bedside cupboard yields nothing. But when we check
underneath the pillow we find a note.
Dear Mother and Father,
When you read this the papers will be
saying things about me. I want you to
know that I did not want to do it. But
there were certain truths that I could
not have enter the world, and there
was a price to pay. I have little hope
Sebastian will pay a price, in turn, for
what he made me do.
Puzzled by our findings we take one last look across
the room. Hidden amongst the bookshelves - or rather
behind the bookshelves - we find another set of books.
The contents of which we do not see every day. Each of
the thin books hold lude cover art or a highly suggestive
title. All of which of the homosexual nature.
We leave the material there, and make our way outside
before the landlady returns with our tea.
20EC
Asking about both Clint Wallace and Jerome Emmons
gives us no new information. It seems that the mishap
has also caused a small crisis inside the West Indies
Steamship Company.
When we ask about whether or not they have any
ships that travel to India the clerk looks at us befuddled.
“We have ships that fare to and from west Indies, not
west India. You do know how the world is shaped right?
The Indies are at the heart of the Americas, whilst India
is on the complete other side.”
He scoffs at us, and we make our way outside, feeling
somewhat defeated.
30EC
Henry Ellis greets us warmly and sympathetically. “I
heard what happened. Nasty way to go. Still haven’t fully
sunk in with me that he’s gone.” His sullen eyes show
signs of sadness. He shakes himself visible. “But I guess
you’re not here for that, are you?”
“Not today. We come here in search for any useful
information on dealings in the colonies. Specifically
India and its harbours. Anything from 10 years ago up
until today.”
“That’s quite the request. But I’ll be happy to help
you out. Just give me a couple moments to collect some
reports, I remember who corresponded that area, so it
should be easy to find.” He excuses himself and leaves us
waiting in a small interview room.
After a small hour he returns with a pile of papers,
and places the heavy stack on the desk with a slam. We
spread out the papers and all take a pile to read. During
our time there we chat about Sherlock, and reminisce
on all the quirky requests we each received at frequent
intervals - never knowing what to expect.
After a few more hours we each managed to go
through our piles. Compiling our notes together, Henry
Ellis concludes the following. “Well it seems like India has
been quite busy ever since the robbery at the Admiralty.
It seems that the sudden disappearance of the proof-of-
ownerships of the trade-deals between the Kingdom and
its harbours in India has allowed an anonymous source
to buy up the majority. There is no real mention of any
name, though most correspondence goes through an S.
Moran, whoever that might be. The trade between India
hasn’t changed much ever since. Only real difference is
that some of the goods are now loaded onto the Thames
Steamboat Company via 39 Upper Ground Street,
whereas before they would have been delivered into
London straight from the harbour. There is no real way
of telling if that company is also in the possession of the
same anonymous figure, but it does raise some questions.”
After so much reading, our eyes strain, and we look
forward to sunlight again. Thanking Ellis for his time, we
take our leave to return to fresher air.
33EC
In the park we talk to multiple homeless men, and ask
if they have seen something near Twining Street, or even
Baker Street and around the Palace. Most of the vagrants
don’t have anything useful to share. Though we do hear
a recurring story of a inspector who was seen around
Twining Street the last couple of days, but not anymore.
35EC
Quintin is fully aware of the disaster that struck
yesterday at Baker Street, and gives us his condolences
for our lose.
“Great shame to think the world is without Sherlock.”
We share a few pleasantries and reminisce about
Sherlock, though soon we return the topic to our current
investigation.
“The Clarence Robinson’s fire? Yes, Watson came
by yesterday, asking what I knew about the fire. Also,
Sherlock came by a couple months ago asking about
their mortician, but I don’t know if those two things are
related.”
“Let’s first talk about yesterday’s fire.”
“Well, since I talked to Watson I haven’t learn much
more, really. A friend at the Bow Street Police Station
gave me some information on the case. Mostly it was on
the interviews done with locals or other witnesses of the
fire. Can’t say much useful about it, except that Inspector
Brown was spotted around the funeral parlor in the last
couple of days. The only reason I mention it is because
Inspector Brown was also the one Sherlock asked after
when we met a couple of months ago.”
“What was Sherlock after?”
“He was under the impression that the mortician - Mr.
Latham, I think - was into some shady business. At the
time Sherlock’s theory sounds preposterous. But since
then I’ve learned a great many things more. It seemed
that Mr. Latham was getting rid of unidentified bodies.
I don’t know where he got them from, or who gave
him the orders. But after a lot of research on my own,
I am now certain the he would receive bodies from an
unsavoury figure, and would give them names of people
who would either still be alive, or would not even exist.
To me it smelled like a scheme to get rid of bodies from
an underground organization - but I’ve never heard of
anything like that on such a large scale. It frightens me
just thinking about it.”
“Do you also have a theory about how the two things
could be connected?”
“Well the theory I’m working on is that Mr. Latham
might have had a change of heart. That would cause
whoever was the source of all these bodies to be put in a
difficult situation for sure.”
“You’ve been most helpful Quintin, thank you very
much.”
“Anything, for a friend of Sherlock.”
36EC
Mr. Hall has been in court all day yesterday, as well
as the three days before. He has had little time to speak
to anyone or do anything except focus on his case. As it
appears, he isn’t even aware of what happened at Baker
Street. When we mention Sherlock, he recalls the last
time he saw him.
“Yesterday, late afternoon, I believe. He came asking if
I knew any good forgers.”
“Forgers of what?”
“Anything, really. He kept asking if any were good
enough to make a believable copy of the Crown. Which
of course I had no clue of, but I did put him on some
names that I heard about through my career. Names of
people I thought would be able to forge things of that
nature.”
Just then a man calls for Mr. Hall, and he rushes off
into a nearby room. Over his shoulder he shouts, “Sorry
chaps, really have to get back to it. Be sure to give Sherlock
my best.”
38EC
Bart’s a busy hive of people still recovering from
yesterday. As it turns out, the explosion at Baker Street
caused some harm to passersby, and the toxic fumes
from the fire at Clarence Robinson’s also had some lasting
effects on those that lived nearby.
Through the throng of people we find time to talk
to Jasper Meeks. He shares his sorrows on the news of
Sherlock’s death, but appears to be too busy to reminisce.
“I’ll give you the facts of the Baker Street incident in a
moment, first read this.”
He hands us a clipboard with a few papers attached
to it. Whilst we start reading, Jasper leads us away from
the busy hospital floors, and down to the lower level that
houses his pathologists offices.
The clipboard holds Jasper’s notes on the Clarence
Robinson’s fire. It appears that Walter Latham and the
small man now known to be Paolo Veronesi each had
skull fractures. Not enough to murder them, but surely
enough to knock them unconscious. These wounds were
inflicted before the fire started, though it is hard to say if
they happened simultaneously, shortly after one another,
or at different times altogether. The angle of the blow, as
well as the lack of defensive injuries, suggest that both
were hit by surprise. As to the object that was used to
inflict the wounds, the notes are less concise. Jasper’s
guess is something of a similar nature to a police officer’s
baton.
“A lot more peaceful down here,” Jasper says when he
notices we’re done reading.
“So about the Baker Street incident. I’ve only just
received material from there. But what I can say thus far
is that no one died.”
We all stay silent for a moment.
“Let me rephrase; no body was found in or close to
the building. What I was gives to investigate was what
first looked to be a pile of charred remains. It looked
believable to the untrained eye. But I quickly discovered
that it was in fact a collection of stitched-together home
supplies, made to look like a corpse. I don’t know what
happened there, and what Sherlock was up to. But if you
ask me, he’s still out there. Somewhere.”
39EC
We knock on the door of the late Frank Jamieson’s
house, and find a new resident has moved in. The man of
the house is willing to answer a few of our questions, but
declines our request to enter. Unfortunately, he has no
new insights to give to us.
44EC
We step into the shop and are greeted by one of the
sons of the somewhat-famous watchmaker and jeweler,
also going by the name of Mr. Garrard. After we explain
our reasons for coming here, he takes us to a little side
room. As we walk in, we see the large assortment of
watches and bracelets dazzling in the sunlight.
“Everyone in town heard about the explosion last
night, but I’m curious as to what brought you to our
doorstep. How can a simple father-son company be
relevant to your inquiries?” The young man rubs his chin
in puzzlement, but seems otherwise calm and collected.
“Well, Mr. Garrard, during our inquiries we came
across your name, or perhaps that of your father, and we
were wondering about your work with Queen Victoria’s
Crown.”
At that the young man looks surprised. “Well,
we weren’t really supposed to talk about that. Henry
Ponsonby, the Queen’s private secretary, told us so. But
I guess since you already know about it, I could share
some information. My father was called out to inspect
the Crown - we weren’t told what for, just that they
wanted to be sure nothing happened to it. I had to stay
outside of the Palace, but my father went in. He took his
notebook with him, I remember. After his confirmation
that the real Crown was still at Buckingham Palace, we
went home.”
“Would it be possible to talk to your father, perhaps?”
“Unfortunately he has fallen ill recently. I told him to
wait out his sickness before returning to his work. Luckily
he trusts me enough to take care of business till then.”
“That is unfortunate, be sure to send your father our
best regards. One more question though; if your father
was called in to identify the Crown, he must have had
some prior knowledge with it, or some other means of
acknowledging its authenticity.”
”Yes, of course. It was late last year I think, when a old
friend of his was able to grant him access into the Royal
Safe. A real treat that was for my father.”
“Who was this friend?”
“Don’t know. Never met him or even heard his name.
Pa just said it was a very good friend that would take care
of him. I remember the man also had a pricy assignment
for Pa around that time.”
“Thank you for your time.”
At that Porky lets out a short burst of laughter. It draws
some attention, but those that watch quickly go back to
watching the drunken patron who has now started to
dance as well as sing.
“No one’s mad enough to rob the palace. If you can’t
walk into the front door, or go through a window, how do
you expect a common thief to get in or out?”
“What about an underground tunnel?”
At that Porky draws a puzzling face.
“It’s strange that you mentioned that. Sherlock was in
here recently asking about the same thing. I told him that
a mysterious figure has been requesting digging crews at
the beginning of this year. Sherlock also asked if the same
request was made 10 years ago, but at that time I was still
very much part of the criminal world, and not a crime-
less innkeeper.”
“Did Sherlock ask about anything else?”
“In relation to the palace, he did ask me if I knew
someone who was good enough to make a copy of
Queen Victoria’s Crown. I took it as a lark at the time, but
now that you bring it up again I’m afraid there might be
something more at play. I told him the best place to go
was R.S. Garrard, he’s a known forger of jewelry. Known
atleast to my sort of folk.”
Just then the drunk man falls over on his face,
unconscious. Most of the bar doesn’t seem to care, and go
back to their business. The bar starts to crowed up again,
and Porky leaves us to tend to the other patrons.

52EC
The Raven and Rat Inn is packed to the brim with
folks enjoying the day. Our appearance mismatches
with the locals that frequent this inn, and we draw some
unwanted attention to ourselves when we make our way
to the bar.
At the bar we find Porky Shinwell. He gives us a
look of recognition, but something about his demeanor
hints that this isn’t the time for familiar pleasantries. We
each order a pint of beer, though have little intention of
drinking it.
After a few moments, when one of the drunk patrons
has started singing on the other side of the inn, Porky
finds some time to come to our side of the bar. Hunching
forward, he talks quickly.
“I know why you’re here. But as you can see, the place
is packed - and with so many folks it’s always hard to
say who’s friend and who’s foe. So I’ll say this quickly.
In regards to what happened to you all, I don’t know
anything. Trust me that I would share something if I
knew. But this was not done by a common criminal.”
“What about yesterday’s fire at the funeral parlor - do
you know anything about that?” We asked him silently.
“Nothing, I’m afraid.”
“Alright, and what about a theft at Buckingham
Palace?”

 SOLUTION

CUSTOM CASE THREE

The House of M
by Vincent van der Zwaag

A s we enter the Diogenes Club, we slowly make our way up to Mycroft’s private room. In the
hallway just outside, we take off our coats and hats and hang them on the nearby hangers. Just
then a loud gunshot blasts from behind the doors and the heavy thud rings our ears. We drop our
coats to the floor and rush into the room. Upon entering we find Mycroft standing with a smoking
pistol in hand, and the large mysterious man we first met at the hospital this very morning, lying
sprawled across the floor. Slowly, the red pool below his body starts to widen.
“Ah, gentlemen. What unfortunate timing you have.”
“What happened?!” We ask frantically.
“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about. Look for yourselves.”
Mycroft points at a letter on the mantel as he puts the pistol on the side table. As we walk over to
the hearth, he takes a kerchief from his breast pockets and places it over the man’s unblinking face.
The letter only holds a few simple words: I found it.
“You might recognize that as one of Sherlock’s five different handwritings. This is the one he uses
when he want to let me know he’s serious.”
We stand for a moment, looking at the dead man laying on the floor, and the completely calm and
composed posture of Mycroft, when two men rush into the room.
“Good to see you,” Mycroft says. “Make sure he can’t be found. I’ll report upstairs later. First I’ll
deal with them”
The two figures nod and walk towards the body. Meanwhile, Mycroft escorts us through a side
door into a smaller room. There he beckons us to sit.
“I’m sure you’re a bit confused at this point. But you’ve been rather useful, so I’ll give you the
pleasure of explaining the situation. When we met this morning at the hospital, I sent you on your
journey under the watchful eye of Moriarty’s henchman - the man I just shot. Through blackmail, he
received enough power to have even me guarded like a child. But no more, now that Sherlock saved
the Crown.”
Slowly recovering from what we just witnessed, and not following much of what Mycroft is saying,
we try to ask him what he means. It appears, however, that our befuddled looks already relay the
message.
“My apologies. It seems I was going too fast. I’ll explain again; after I sent you on your way, I was
sure to have my men follow you every step of the way. Through them, I knew every step you were
taking, and every detail you learned. Additionally, I sent my men to other locations as well, in hopes
of solving this grand mystery - and it turned out to be rather easy, wouldn’t you say?”
He takes our silent stares as agreement, and continues. “First I wanted to know where my
brother was, and after seeing the newspaper Sherlock left for you in the box this morning, I instantly
recognized the coded messages there were present in both The Times of January 10, 1889, as well as
October 6, 1879. It was too big a coincidence for two articles to use the same exact wording. This lead
me to believe something was up at both St. James Park as well as Green Park. Seeing as the oldest
crime was probably the one Moriarty though he got away with, I started with St. James Park. My men
found a hidden sewer that lead straight north-east, to the Admiralty. There, I pieced together that
something suspicious was happening at an abandoned building next to the Thames, at Upper Ground
Street. From there it was easy to see the big picture: a tunnel had been dug from Green park to under
Buckingham Palace and Queen Victoria’s Crown had been stolen and replaced by a replica to avoid
suspicion. The crown was then moved to the abandoned building and shipped out of the country via
the Thames Steamboat Company.”
“But how did you know it was the crown that had been stolen, and that it wasn’t the real crown
that remained at the palace?” We ask.
“Well there is really only one thing worth stealing at the palace if your goal is to gain power, and
you have little interest in monetary gains. The palace holds lots of treasures, but you and I both know
Moriarty is after more than just gold. As it turns out, my theories were correct. Early this morning the
English government was blackmailed into following Moriarty’s orders.”
“So was it Moriarty who was behind it all?”
“In a sense perhaps. But if you’re looking for the real culprit of all the actions that took place here
in London, you’ll have to look at Sebastian Moran. The right-hand man of Moriarty. Colonel Moran
was the one who made everything happen. I learned this when I send my men over to Gower Street
- the address used in the coded messages. From the clues gathered there I became certain Sebastian
Moran was the man I was after. Unfortunately, we currently have no idea where he is hiding. But I’m
sure we’ll find him.”
The picture is starting to get clear to us, though we still have a few more questions that need
answering. “How did you resolve the missing prisoners?” We ask.
“Well, after my men gained a list of names of the wardens at Millbank Prison, I cross referenced
those with the code found at Moran’s hideout, and only one matched: James Piper at Millbank Prison.
Moran must have had something on him that forced him to do the kidnapping. The two women
were brought to an abandoned shed close by, and in all likelihood were murdered there. To see the
connection, I needed Martha Jamieson’s side of the story. Apparently, she knew about the money Sam
Brown and David Roster were receiving from an unknown source for the last decade, and also that
she had gotten the murder-plan from a mysterious man that could have only been Moran himself.
If you combine the hidden income and the activities of Moran ten years ago, one can only assume
that Brown and Roster saw something at St. James Park all those years ago. They were receiving
money to stay quiet, but must have started asking for more. Meanwhile, Moran gained access to
the Winter Widow’s correspondence, and learned of their hatred towards their husbands. It was the
perfect opportunity for Moran to get rid of the two greedy witnesses, without having to draw any
attention to himself.”
“But then why would Moran attempt to have the three women murdered as well?”
“For that we need to look at the last puzzle piece: yesterday’s fire at Clarence Robinson’s. I sent my
men to the parlor, and it soon became clear that what Martha Jamieson said about her brother-in-law
was true. Inspector Brown had been spotted in the vicinity of the parlor, and his drive for revenge
must have been connected. It is not unreasonable to think that if Moran was able to contact a hateful
wife and inspire her to murder, that he would contact a vengeful brother and strike a deal. My theory
is that the inspector had to burn down Clarence Robinson’s in trade for Moran getting rid of the
Winter Widows. This is further corroborated by the fact that both crimes happened within a day of
one another.”
“But what did Moran have to gain from burning down the entire building?”
“With the information my men gathered from the funeral parlor, I payed a personal visit to Quintin
Hogg, the reporter for the Police Gazette. My bodyguard had no clue I wasn’t there to exchange
pleasantries. With Hogg’s information it became clear that Walter Latham was living a double-life.
Besides being a normal mortician, he also systematically misnamed corpses that came through the
parlor. It also became clear that these bodies were well hidden, and not the normal run-of-the-mill
street crime victims. Moran’s hand lay heavy on this operation, and with the hints that Mr. Latham
was starting to grow a conscious, he must have had the guts to stand up to Moran and refuse to work
for him any longer. Unfortunately for Latham, Moran is not one to say farewell easily.”
We have been listening attentively, but only a one question remains, and we need to know the
answer to it no matter what.
“So Sherlock is alive?”
“Indeed he is. He recognized the newspaper codes, and deduced that the crown was the object of
Moriarty’s desire. Unfortunately for him, and you as well, Moran was on to Sherlock’s discoveries. I
guess Moran must have had Sherlock followed for some time now, maybe even Watson, Lomax, and
any other associates - including you. Yesterday evening Sherlock found some kind of explosive in
his room. In those precious few seconds he had until it would explode, he concocted a plan. Set fire
to the apartment to chase you out of harm’s way; fake his death to give him time to escape London;
and travel to India to reclaim Queen Victoria’s Crown. As it turns out, his entire plan worked out
splendidly. Now Moriarty has nothing to use as blackmail, and we are free of his terror. For now.”

More at www.vincentgames.com

Reference Map
T he Reference Map is a simplified street map of Victorian London. It is used to give the player a
pictorial view of the area in which all the cases occur. There are approximately 500 numbered
locations, which we shall refer to as clue points. They represent specific places, such as Scotland Yard
or the Bank of England, or general purpose locations, whose use may vary from case to case. For
example, 39 Aldersgate Street, EC, may be Lord Hampstead’s residence in one case and Black’s Shoe
Emporium in another.
When you look at the Reference Map notice that each clue point is designated by a number. The
Reference Map has been divided into five sections corresponding to London’s postal districts, each
represented by two letters. Thus, when you are given the address 39 Aldersgate EC, you will know that
it is located in the upper right section (EC), on Aldersgate Street, in the space labeled 39. A specific
location, such as Scotland Yard, will have its name as well as its street number on the Reference Map
location.
In the lower right-hand corner of the map you will see the Game Travel Time Scale. All characters
encountered in the cases will travel at the rate of one inch in five minutes, regardless of their mode
of transportation. The Map is a reference tool for the player; their movement is not determined by it.

Newspaper Archive
T he Newspaper Archive is a collection of dated newspapers which may provide clues and
information pertaining to the cases. The player may refer to them at any time during the game.
The Newspaper Archive for any case consists of all papers dated the same as, or prior to, the date of
that case. For example, if you are working on Case 4, you may look back to the newspapers for Cases
3, 2, and 1, as well as at the paper for Case 4. You may not look at any of the papers dates after Case 4.

Directory
T he Directory contains an alphabetical listing of most characters and places mentioned or
alluded to in the cases. It also contains many listings that are not mentioned in the cases. These
additional listings are provided so the players may find information in a logical manner. For example,
if a murder is committed with poison, you may wish to visit the various chemists and apothecaries
listed in the Directory.

Game Equipment Use

B efore beginning the game, lay out the Reference Map so that all players will be able to see and use
it at will. Place the newspapers which constitute the Newspaper Archive so all players will have
access to them. Remember, the Newspaper Archive can be referred to at any time during the game
and as many times as the player wishes.
Only one clue point may be visited at a time. If a player wants to go back and look up a clue point
he has previously visited, he will have to do so by visiting the location again. The Directory may be
looked at anytime during the game and as often as the player desires. Players should be provided
paper and pen in order to keep track of visited clue points and to take notes if they wish.

mystery that you must try to solve. Keep in mind that the clues you gather may add to the mystery,
leading you along new paths with new mysteries to unravel.
Step 2. Decide which clue point to visit. Once the player(s) make(s) a decision, write down the clue
point in a list of visited clue points. Then turn to that clue point listing in the Clue Book and read
the clue given for the appropriate case.
Step 3. Repeat step 2 until all players are have reached a solution.
Step 4. When a solution is reached, make note of how many clue points have been visited, and
complete the quiz for that case.
Step 5. Turn to the Quiz Book for complete scoring instructions, and, afterwards, read out the

BURGLARIES
_ FATAL EXPLOSION OF SHELL
To the Editor of the Times
Sir. -- The Press and the public generally should force
our timid, halting officials to take energetic action against
certain forms of crime. May I suggest that --
1. Any person committing a burglary or robbery
from the person, accompanied by violence or brutality,
be flogged.
2. Any burglar or other thief having upon him a
revolver, or other destinctly murderous weapon, be
flogged.
3. The police force be increased, especially mounted
patrols in certain localities.
4. Certain constables be armed with revolvers.
5. The police generally have a “freer hand” in dealing
with crimes of robbery or violence.
6. More activity among the members of the police
force be insisted on by the Chief Commissioner.
7. The public should be officially informed as to the
legality, or otherwise, of using firearms in defense of
their lives and property.
Experience shows, however, the futility of expecting
the “authorities” ever to take the lead in those matters.
They never do anything until forced.

LITTLE EGYPT MAKES A HIT
_ AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
Last night the Tivoli was the scene of a novel
divertissement. Little Egypt, that agile and beautiful
exponent of the graceful, sensuous Oriental danse
du ventre, entertained all present with her lithesome,
swaying body.
A nimble-fingered pianist who was up in profane
music sounded the opening chords of the wicked dance
and, with writhing and twisting body, Little Egypt
stepped out the measure while all the men looked on
with open-mouthed astonishment. Louder and louder
banged the piano, more and more rapidly the abdominal
muscles of the dancer twitched. Her eyes gleamed with
the excitement of it all and her bosom heaved with
tantalizing irregularity. With a crash of chords the dance
ceased and the men were left with silence broken only by
long drawn out sighs from a couple of gentlemen.
Little Egypt, who is known as Hatasu Asquith off
stage, has come to England by way of Egypt and Syria.
Vague rumours persist that she was deported for illegal
political activities in those countries, but quite a few 
Englishmen are glad to have her here.

_ ROBBERY
R.S. Garrard and Co. Jewelers was the scene of a
daring theft yesterday afternoon. The burglar apparently
threw a smoke bomb from the floor of the store onto
stairs leading to the offices above. As store employees
raced to fight the “fire,” the thief looted a display case of
jewels valued in the thousands of pounds.
Scotland Yard’s chief suspect in the crime is Thomas
O’Neill, an internationally known jewel thief who was
known to have been in London within the last several
attempts to apprehend O’Neill.
Garrard’s is offering a reward of £500 for information
leading to the capture of the perpetrator of this crime
and the restoration of the stolen jewels.

DISASTER AT SEA
_
Our Philadelphia Correspondent telegraphs: -- A
Gloucester, Massachusetts despatch brings a terrible tale
of the sea, told by Captain Ryan, of the schooner S.D. Story,
he arrived yesterday from Iceland, having sailed on Oct.
19. Off the south coast of Iceland he reports that a large
fleet of French fishing vessels had gathered to fish, when a
heavy gale came on causing great destruction among the
fleet, and scattering it in all directions. Six vessels were
lost with their crews. One had her deck swept, losing her
captain and 11 men, another her captain and three men,
and a third her captain and two men. The total loss, as far
as ascertained, is 137 men. Many of the vessels were so
badly damaged that they had to be abandoned, causing
300 men to be left in Iceland in a destitute condition until
a steamer arrived to carry them away. The supply of food
was limited. There were few natives living there, and the
men endured great hardships.

MUMMY_
STRIKES AGAIN
The body of James Windibank was discovered late
yesterday in the room he was preparing for the British
Museum’s exhibit of newly discovered artifacts from
the tomb of Katebet’s Mummy. The archaeologist was
found strangled. Around his neck were linen bandages
of the type used by the ancient Egyptians in wrapping
mummies.
Windibank’s is the third murder to be associated
with the Mummy Katebet in the past six weeks. The
archaeologist had accompanied the London University-
sponsored expedition to Egypt.
The project has been cursed with ill luck since the first
discovery of the tomb several months ago. Its organizer,
Dr. Ebenizer Turnbull, was murdered in the actual tomb
itself. Another archaeologist, Andrew Weatherby, met
a similar fate on board the ship returning to England.
The Hardine ship Eastern Empress was the scene of
that mysterious death. The shipboard investigation was
handled by Captain Herman Ramsey and his first office,
Luther Tenney.
Scotland Yard has declined to name any suspects at
this
 time.

THE RECREATIVE EVENING SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION
_ Brussels, June 9
To the Editor of the Times
Sir, -- Will you allow us, through your columns to
appeal to the public for assistance in the volunteer work
of this association? We hope nest winter session to
introduce our recreative and practical classes into some
100 Broad and Voluntary Schools in the metropolis, and
for those we shall require 1,000 teachers. The experience
of the past winter has justified our expectations of the
success of the recreative method, and proved that beyond
comparatively slight expenditure we need nothing but
volunteers. The subjects are simple, especially those
which will require the largest number of teachers. Thus,
musical drill and the use of the magic lanterns can be
learned in a very few lessons; singing, drawing, and
sewing of an elementary nature can be taught by any
one who can sing, draw, or sew; and by the valuable aid
of the Home Arts Association we are able to provide
professional teachers for those who are willing to help
in our classes for modelling, wood carving, and design.
The time we ask for will not exceed one hour a week for
each person; and we therefore trust that many will be
able to help, the work being found by experience to be
very interesting and agreeable and the time of attendance
short.
Any one who is willing to assist by gift of time or
money is requested to communicate immediately with
the secretary, 2, Swinton-street, WC, as it is desired to
organize classes of volunteers at once.
On behalf of the association, we are, yours, &c.,
