Call Waiting
Mar. 18th, 2010 04:30 pmIt was another three weeks before the second missive from Holmes arrived, by which time I had cleaned my revolver half a dozen times, re-written a letter of apology and instruction concerning my practice to Anstruther four times, and found myself on the rooftop investigating odd noises in the middle of the night thrice. I'd also been dogged on my rounds to patients, and had narrowly avoided being accosted in an alleyway by a pair of burly ruffians one foggy night.
Nevertheless, I sat and studied the envelope in my hands for a very long time before I opened it.
