Well, it's really my sister's problem, sir.
She keeps a boarding house at 14 Kensington Garden Square in Beeswater.
And she's convinced one of her boarders, a man who has a broom on the first floor deck, she's convinced that he's a birdman.
Oh, it's like a werewolf, gentlemen, except that the man turns into a bird.
Oh, I know it sounds daft, but my sister's in a dreadful state.
Of course, I've been with your brother long enough, sir, to know that such things are nonsense.
But how can I prove it to her?
She keeps finding pigeon feathers in the room.
Now, the man doesn't keep pigeons, sir.
My sister knows that for a fact.
No signs of any pigeons, except the feathers.
My sister's a wee bit fey, Mr. Holmes.
She's the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, and you know what that means.
Just the same, she's not imagining things, sir.
She's shown me the feathers herself.
Somewhere on the floor by the end of the bedstead, sir.
I brought some along with me.
