The Yuletide Affair

John Stoessel

From the Author's Desk

Conan Doyle always cast Dr. Watson as the traditional narrator, but even his series included a few accounts by Holmes. Those few were never as popular as Dr. Watson's, who sketched a profile of his amazing friend as he observed the clues invisible to others. Suppose, however, that Watson solved a mystery on his own? After all, giving a separate life to a biographer is fair play in mystery literature.

Actually, it is also long overdue. While Dr. Watson was not a master detective, he understood the discipline and mastered an equally challenging one of his own. In this alone, to say nothing of his patience and courage beyond the call of duty, I say Dr. Watson deserves his own moment of glory, one which would accent his talents without upstaging Holmes.

Picture Holmes and Watson sitting comfortably by the fire in Sussex. The time is December 1923, and the mail has arrived.

Watson reads a letter, then captures Holmes's attention. He admits with some shyness that he has a story to place in the second tin box. Holmes comprehends the situation immediately.

"An adventure of your own, Watson?"

"Yes, Holmes. I think the time has come to tell you...."
