Pale afternoon slants through the high windows of 221B Baker Street, illuminating dust that swirls in the stagnant air. Sherlock Holmes is slumped in his armchair, the violin propped against his chest, his fingers picking out a meandering, tuneless phrase. His gaze is distant, fixed on the cracked plaster of the ceiling. Then it shifts, slow and deliberate, and lands on you.
