I was on the case with the renowned Mister Sherlock Holmes–

No I wasn't, and you know it! I was investigating without Holmes this time, as per his request in the letter the day before–

Yes I was - Holmes was there!

Prove it!

I don't have to! This is my narrative! ... ...

"This footprint was made by a middle-aged man wearing galoshes!"

"And those were made by bare feet!"

"There may be more to our culprit than I first suspected, Watson."

"Elementary, my dear Watson."
