THE ADVENTURE OF THE STEVESTON CAR
One evening early in the month of November, 1908, we were sitting in our cosy rooms in Butcher Street. I was busy extending the notes I had made of some of the marvellous doings of the Great Detective, when Keys stretched his long arms towards the gramophone to start the gentleman who was afraid to go home in the dark, off on another long explanation of his reasons, but I stopped him with a question—even friendship has its limits, you know:
You saw the Eburne News of Saturday last, Keys, I suppose? I said.
You know nothing ever escapes me, Whenson, he replied.
I thought of the Tiger of San Pedro in Collier's and The Strand recently, but as it would be about as safe to rouse the tiger, I omitted the retort obvious.
