Summary: In 1921, Billy, the former pageboy of Baker Street, is a lonely and poor war veteran, just like Dr. Watson was exactly forty years ago. Once Holmes and Watson moved to Sussex, Billy lost touch with them. Now he has finally come to the South Downs, trying to find out where they are. Meanwhile, Inspector Cartwright of Scotland Yard is on his trail.
