EXCERPT...

The Wizard of Montague Street

 

The slender young man exited the park at Russell Square and crossed the road into Montague Street. To save a fare, he’d walked all the way from St. Pancras station, nearly a mile away, toting a carpet bag with his heavy Inverness jammed between the handles. July in London is not an overly hot month, but it was still much too warm for that garment.

At twenty-three years old, Sherlock Holmes had come down from Camford today to realize his life’s dream. Here in London, he would become the world’s first consulting detective. He would earn his bread and cheese by using his peculiar abilities to advise other investigators regarding the odd, arcane, seemingly insoluble cases they would bring to his door. The fact that he knew next to no one in the city did not trouble him greatly—a current copy of the Illustrated Police News would provide him with a plethora of mysteries to investigate, solve and build his reputation. To support him during this uncertain time, he carried a purse containing five gold sovereigns in his trousers pocket.

If I cannot establish myself before these are exhausted, perhaps I have chosen the wrong career.
