1 A Visitor for sherlock holmes
My name is Doctor Watson While l was in the army I travelled to many strange and
interesting places then one day in afghanistan i was shot in the shoulder i nearly died form pain and fever i retired form the army and came back to england that is why i was living in london with sherlock holmes i hed known my friend for many years he was the most famous private detective in london
one afternoon i was reading a book and holmes was standing by the windon in our sitting-room uaually he was very busy and active but this afternoon he did not seem very happy
i need some work watson said holmes impatiently i love my work it keeps my brain active but when there are no crimes and no mysteries to solve ah then life becomes very boring for me
At that moment there was a knock at the door Our housekeeper came into the room she was carrying a small white card on a silver tray holmes up the card
Miss Mary Morstan he read aloud i don't know anyone of that name perhaps it is a new client
A few moments later Miss Morstan entered the room she was young and not very tall
with bionde hair and blue eyes she had a lovely face i noticed at once that she looked worried and uphapply
Please sit down Miss Morstan said holmes kindly i am sherlock holmes and this is my good friend doctor watson
