The Red-Headed League
Red-Headed-League2D.jpgThe Red-Headed League 1.
There is nothing I like more than to take a stroll through London’s parks when I have time to spare, and I especially love strolling through Regent’s Park in the autumn.
And so it happened, one blustery October morning, that I was walking through Regent’s Park on the way to Baker Street, the home of my dear friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
The trees were wearing their autumn colours – reds, browns, yellows and oranges, and all shades in between. Fallen leaves were being kicked about by happy ragamuffin children. The wind tugged playfully at my bowler hat, trying to blow it across the grass, but I kept one hand beside my head holding my bowler in place.
Unlike a gentleman about a hundred yards ahead of me, who I watched chasing his hat along the ground, blown along by gusts of wind every time he bent down to pick it up.
It reminded me of the case of the Blue Carbuncle the previous Christmas, when a lost bowler hat turned out to be the start of a bizarre mystery involving, of all things, a goose and a stolen jewel.
My dear friend Sherlock Holmes of course had soon got to the bottom of that little mystery, and as I meandered through Regent’s Park that October morning I wondered when the next mystery might come along.
Little could I know the next mystery would be waiting for me the moment I arrived at 221b Baker Street.
The Red-Headed League 2.
I was reminded of the colours of the falling leaves in Regent’s Park when I opened the door and found Sherlock Holmes talking with a man who himself could best be described as autumnal.
The man had flaming red hair and a florid red face and crimson cheeks that, with his brown suit and shoes, made him look almost like the trees I had just left behind.
I’m sorry, Holmes. I didn’t realize you had visitors,
I said. I’ll call back shortly.
No, no,
said Holmes. Do come in, Watson. Do come in. I would like you to meet Mr. Jabez Wilson, who has just this evening come to me with a most bizarre mystery.
Aha. This sounds interesting.
I said. I put my hat and coat on the stand before stepping across to shake hands with Mr. Wilson.
Holmes turned to his guest. Mr. Wilson, since you were only part way through your story, would you begin again and explain to my dear friend Dr. Watson the events that bring you here today. I will benefit from hearing the story again myself, it is so unusual.
At that moment Mrs. Hudson appeared in the doorway with a covered tray. She placed the tray on the table and removed the cloth to reveal a steaming pot of tea, milk and sugar, and three cups and saucers.
I heard Doctor Watson arrive, Mr. Holmes,
Mrs. Hudson said, and I knew he would welcome a fresh pot of tea. Fortunately I already had the kettle on the stove, so the water was piping hot. And I knew your other guest had not yet left, so I took the liberty of adding a cup for him too.
Splendid, Mrs. Hudson,
Holmes declared. You must be a mind-reader, for I was about to ring the bell and ask you to bring us some refreshments. Mr. Wilson, do help yourself to tea, and then take a seat and tell me again this quite remarkable story.
The Red-Headed League 3.
After Mrs. Hudson had returned downstairs, I watched with interest as Mr. Jabez Wilson settled down in a chair and sipped his tea, gathering his thoughts before he began to tell his story.
I looked over the man, trying to apply the methods Sherlock Holmes had taught me, to deduce some facts about our guest. But other than that Mr. Wilson’s clothes were old and shabby, and that his red face matched his red hair and that his short breaths and the fact that he was overweight suggested he was not in the best of health, I could tell nothing else.
Holmes had been watching me watching Mr. Wilson, and let out a sharp laugh. Before you begin, Mr. Wilson, let us first hear what Dr. Watson has deduced about you.
Mr. Wilson looked at Holmes in surprise. "Deduced about me?"
Holmes smiled. Watson has been learning some of my methods. I find, Mr. Jabez Wilson, that one can tell a lot about a person by simply looking.
Well, yes,
agreed Mr. Wilson with a chuckle. You can tell I am fat and have red hair, and my clothes are not new, so you might deduce I am not a rich man. But beyond that, I cannot imagine what anyone might conclude about me just by looking, good sir.
I agree one cannot tell much in your case,
Homes said. He turned to me. "But I’m sure Watson noticed a few other trifling points. Isn’t that so, Doctor
