It is even suggested that a British Revolution is possible. Once again the Safety of ihe Realm is endangered, true Holmesian fare. . - “Dr. Watson, in love, has just become engaged to a young American, and the great Sherlock Holmes talks of retirement. ‘The advent of forensic science seems to be making redundant his _ powers of deduction, Then three different events spur Holmes and Watson to action.

How © - can, they be related — but related they are — and they impinge on the safety of the realm.
