"'Perhaps I'll pay my debt some day.'

Holmes smiled indulgently.

"'I fancy that, for some few years, you will find your time very fully occupied,' said he.

"'By the way, what was it you put into the wood-pile besides your old trousers?

A dead dog, or rabbits, or what?

You won't tell?

Dear me, how very unkind of you!

Well, well, I dare say that a couple of rabbits would account both for the blood and for the charred ashes.'

If ever you write an account, Watson, you can make rabbits serve your turn.

Sherlock Holmes Short Stories · The Stock Broker's Clerk - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · 27 Jun 2026 podcast

Shortly after my marriage I had bought a connection in the Paddington district.

Old Mr. Farquhar, from whom I purchased it, had at one time an excellent general practice, but his age, and an affliction of the nature of St.

Vitus's dance from which he suffered, had very much thinned it.

The public, not unnaturally, goes on the principle that he who would heal others must himself be whole."

and look askance at the curative powers of the man whose own case is beyond the reach of his drugs.

Thus, as my predecessor weakened, his practice declined, until, when I purchased it from him, it had sunk from twelve hundred to little more than three hundred a year.

For three months after taking over the practice, I was kept very closely at work, and saw little of my friend Sherlock Holmes, for I was too busy to visit Baker Street, and he seldom went anywhere himself, save upon professional business.

I was surprised, therefore, when one morning in June, as I sat reading the British Medical Journal after breakfast, I heard a ring at the bell, followed by the high, somewhat strident tones of my old companion's voice.

"'Ah, my dear Watson,' said he, striding into the room, "'I am very delighted to see you.
