Although Watson is noticeably absent in telling and participating in this case, Holmes makes it into a fine read.
The Sherlock Holmes Society of London, however, ranks it near the bottom of it's list.
Nothing new or surprising in methods in the case, but I think we find some good points of humor in Holmes' personality.
And we are treated to the mention of some more unwritten cases.
Points to discuss;
Boer War.
Regiments in the war.
Leprosy.
What is a Yeoman?
Telephone's in England 1903.
Elephant guns.
