Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Chapter 3: Another afternoon in Quaker Street 9 ¾. - see previous chapter. Dr. Sonwat enters Herlock Sholmes‘ living room: “Ah, I see you have solved the mystery of the vanished golden dragon.” Sholmes: “Yepp.” Dr. Sonwat: “Let’s talk about Lord Rushinthought’s case.” Sholmes: “Fine. My dear Sonwat we have the very detailed, almost graphical description that the butler gave. Did you notice that Rushinthought was wearing different trousers and boots when he came to pick up the money?” Dr. Sonwat: “I must admit that I did not notice that.” Sholmes: "And what do you think?" Dr. Sonwat: "Lord Rushinthought must have changed his trousers while being away from home." Sholmes: "Only to change them again after taking the money? Then the other trousers must be somewhere around." Dr. Sonwat: "That is indeed a mystery. Which we need to solve." Sholmes: “I conclude that we have to visit Lord Rushinthought’s home again. And search the surroundings.” (Later at the back of Rushinthought’s home) Sholmes: “What do we have here?” Dr. Sonwat: “A dustbin. Or a trash can, if you are from one of Corrington’s colonies.” Sholmes: “And there is something special in it... Wait for it!” Sholmes (pulls something red out of the dustbin): “Well, not exactly trousers, but this looks a lot like Rushinthought’s uniform jacket.” Dr. Sonwat: “But this must be a copy as we have seen him wearing his.” Sholmes: “Precisely.” Sholmes: “Does Rushinthought have a twin brother?” Dr. Sonwat: “Not that I know of.” Sholmes: “Then someone is impersonating Lord Rushinthought!” Dr. Sonwat: “But who? And how?” Sholmes: “This is what I will soon find out!” (to be continued) The storyline so far: (The Adventure of the Horse Race Money) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 (you are here) Chapter 4 Quote
NOD Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Again, there are unanswered questions. Does Rushinthought have any other employees? A cook or a gardener? Because the butler is innocent for once, it can only have been the gardener! I wouldn't be surprised if the gardener has a new Ferrari (that's a black sport horse). Quote
