Let your body fall into a comfortable position in your bed. and drift gently into a state of total relaxation with tonight's story. The problem of Thorbridge Part one. Somewhere in the vaults of the Bank of Cox and Co. at Charing Cross, there is a travel worn and battered tin dispatch box with my name, John H. Watson MD, Late Indian Army, painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr Sherlock Holmes had at various times to examine. Some, and not the least interesting, were complete failures. And as such will hardly bear narrating.
Since no final explanation is forthcoming. A problem without a solution may interest the student but can hardly fail to annoy the casual reader. Among these unfinished tales is that of Mr. James Fillimore, who, stepping back into his own house to get his umbrella, was never more seen in this world. No less remarkable is that of the cutter Alicia, who Which sailed one spring morning into a small patch of mist from where she never again emerged. Nor was anything further ever heard of herself and her crew. A third case worthy of note is that of Isadora Persano. The well known journalist and duellist who was found stark staring mad with a matchbox in front of him, which contained a remarkable worm, said to be unknown to science.
Apart from these unfathomed cases, there are some which involve the secrets of private families, to an extent which would mean consternation in many exalted quarters if it were thought possible that they might find their way into print. I need not say that such a breach of confidence is unthinkable, and that these records will be separated and destroyed now that my friend has time to turn his energies to the matter. There remain a considerable residue of cases of greater or less interest. Which I might have edited before had I not feared to give the public a surfeit which might react upon the reputation of the man whom above all others I revere. In some I was myself concerned and can speak as an eye witness, while in others I was either not present or played so small a part that they could only be told as by a third person.
The following narrative is drawn from my own experience. It was a wild morning in October. And I observed as I was dressing how the last remaining leaves were being whirled from the solitary plain tree which graces the yard behind our house. I descended to breakfast prepared to find my companion in depressed spirits, for like all great artists, He was easily impressed by his surroundings. On the contrary. I found that he had nearly finished his meal. And that his mood was particularly bright and joyous with that somewhat sinister cheerfulness which was characteristic of his lighter moments.
