“My dear fellow,” said Sherlock Holmes as we sat on either side of the fire in his lodgings at Baker Street, “I am stumped”.
“And yet I am not convinced,” I answered. “The great Sherlock Holmes stumped?”
“Well perhaps flummoxed then” he replied taking down the old and oily clay pipe, and, having lit it, he puffed away.
“But Holmes, why?” I questioned.
Sherlock Holmes chuckled.
“I am convinced this is the work of the Purple Wraith. She who posts pictures online every week, seeking precisely one hundred words. I fear this week, I too have been lost for words.”
