But to get back to my story, I'd been exceptionally busy that summer and Constance was feeling rather, shall we say, nervy and run down.

So much so that Mary, oh, Mrs. Watson, persuaded me to take a fortnight's holiday.

We went down to the charming little village of Taplow on the lower reaches of the River Thames.

But, as so often happens, the best laid schemes of mice and men gang up to Glegg.

Quite correct, Mr. Bartell.

We'd only been down there a couple of days when the trouble began.

In fact, the whole thing became so involved that I thought the best thing to do was to put the whole strange story in a letter to Sherlock Holmes.

This I did.

And I can imagine how he chuckled when he read my letter.

You know, Mary, I've always thought up to now that barmy was rather a silly word.

I still do, John, dear.

Nevertheless, it's the only possible word to describe a day like this eloquently.

Very well, dear, it's barmy.

Personally, I'm so happy to see you relaxing that I don't care what the weather's like.

You've been working much too hard.

Yes, it's been a busy year.

Yes, and last year, Sherlock Holmes monopolized most of your time.

At least I've got you to myself for once.

You dear little thing, you...

Always been rather jealous of my association with Holmes, haven't you?
