"He turned up the light, filled and lit a pipe, and then turned to
the note from Sherlock Holmes. It read:
"Pitt--Inspector MacLeish paid me a visit this evening to
discuss the particulars of a murder that occurred at Coldfall
Lodge, Tetherdown. Mr. Artimus Weatherill was brutally murdered and
property taken, including a fair amount in sovereigns. There are
some particulars regarding this event that puzzle MacLeish and
since I am returning to Glasgow in the morning to testify in the
Seamus Walsh affair, I took the liberty of telling the Inspector
you would look into it in my absence. If your appointments will
give you the morning, MacLeish will be at Coldfell Lodge at seven
o'clock. Best regards, Holmes""
Enter Joshua Pitt, inquiry agent, chess playing opponent of Dr.
Watson, and one-time Baker Street Irregular who has set up shop
little more than a block away on Baker Street. A young man in his
late twenties, he is rarely without a smoking pipe at hand, a good
blend of tobacco, and prefers strong Assam tea and Highland
whiskey. His cases are as much adventure as mystery, and the reader
is invited along for the ride, in a hansom, of course.
