Chapter 4

Again another afternoon in Quaker Street 9 ¾

800x525.jpg

Dr. Sonwat enters Herlock Sholmes‘ living room: “Ah, I see you have resolved the mystery of the twin rabbits.”

Sholmes: “Yepp.”

800x598.jpg

Dr. Sonwat: “Amazing. That must have been quite difficult and exciting.”

Sholmes: “Yepp.”

800x471.jpg

Sholmes: “Have a seat. Something new has come up.”

Dr. Sonwat: “And that is?”

800x498.jpg

Sholmes: “A man came here this morning, obviously functioning as a messenger.
  He introduced himself as ‘Bauwn Shauwn’ and he added that he spells his name ‘Bean Sean’.”

Dr. Sonwat: “And you asked him whether he was from Celtic origin?”

Sholmes: “Precisely. But apparently, he was just bad at spelling.”

800x600.jpg

Dr. Sonwat: “What else did he say?”

Sholmes: “His master, Lord Thomas Fortescue had sent him. Fortescue is requesting our help in a case where the police obviously has given up.”

Dr. Sonwat: “And what happened?”

800x561.jpg

Sholmes: “I guess something has suddenly disappeared in a mysterious way.”

Dr. Sonwat: “Do we have a pattern here?”

Sholmes: “Let’s find out!”

(They depart to meet with Lord Fortescue.)

At Lord Fortescue’s manor, Fetherstone Hall:

800x654.jpg

Fortescue: “My good Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat – I am glad that you were able to come here at short notice. Inspector Destrale unfortunately thought that the police could do nothing in this case. So I put my hopes on you.”

Sholmes: “Rightfully so. Now, what exactly has happened?”

Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly, in short, I had it, but when I came home, it was gone and I am very sure that it wasn’t me.”

Dr. Sonwat (to himself): “I have heard that kind of talk before…”

Sholmes (nodding to Dr. Sonwat): “Lord Fortescue, could you be a bit more precise?”

800x587.jpg

Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly. I have bought a precious diamond which I wanted to give to my wife as a birthday present. When I came home yesterday, I put the box with the diamond on this table over here and then left to the city.”

Sholmes: “And when you came home the box was gone?”

Fortescue: “Exactly. How did you know?”

Sholmes: “And then the butler said something very strange?”

Dr. Sonwat (to himself): “I have heard that kind of talk before…”

Fortescue: “Exactly. How did you know?”

Sholmes: “It is my job to know these things.”

Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly.”

Sholmes: “Can we have a brief chat with your butler.”

Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly. I’ll call him.”

800x630.jpg

(The butler enters)

Sholmes: “Ah, of course, Bauwn Shauwn , I mean, Bean Sean. Now, please tell us, what you have sean, I mean, seen.
 Tell us exactly what happened to the box that Lord Fortescue had placed here.”

Bean Sean: “Yes, Sir. But that was very simple and straightforward.”

(The butler describes in great detail what he had witnessed.)

800x503.jpg

Bean Sean: “The box was on the red table over there. The master had left but just a few minutes later, he returned, while I was dusting the room.”

Sholmes: “Did Lord Fortescue say anything?”

Bean Sean: “No, he just gave me a nod as if to appreciate my work. Then he took the box and left again.”

Fortescue: “I most certainly did not!”

Dr. Sonwat (to the butler): “Did you know what was in the box?”

Bean Sean: “Of course not. I do not spy onto my master.”

Fortescue: “What, for heaven’s sake has happened here?”

Sholmes: “This is what I will soon find out!”

Herlock Sholmes is a successful detective. :pir-huzzah2:  He resolved the mystery of the twin rabbits.

Yes yes, the police. If you need them, they can't help. But if I park my horse somewhere, I immediately get a traffic ticket.  :pir-angry:

This time there is a squirrel in the room. I noticed that there were fresh flowers on the table in Rushinthought and Fortescue's room. That and the trousers with the boots is a clear indication that it was the gardener! :pir-oh:

Great story as always :pir_laugh2:

Is the tobacco pipe a Lego piece? From which set is the pirate picture sticker on the wall of Fortescue's house? It looks great!

The plot thickens! :pir-grin:  AND there is a squirrel... the case is coming together. :pir-laugh:

The pattern with the teeth pieces around the top edge of the room is lovely!

Also, good song choice. I though it seemed familiar.

Dr. Thaum is right on the pipe piece.

The pirate picture - I think it is from buccaneer bay but I am not sure... I just had it :pir_wacko:

:pir_laugh2: There is no new money system in Corrington!

Someone was noting the absence of squirrels....

Thanks for the appraisal. 

No ships in this storyline. Just interiors, interiors, interiors :pir_laugh2:
