	ADLER, IRENE: "Absurdly Simple."
01/03/05 187 kb	Holmes/Watson. Sherlock Holmes  has a secret client who is being blackmailed for his "proclivities" - but despite many hints, Watson fails to guess who the client is.  It's only after he follows Holmes to a sleazy part of town and finds him in a compromising situation that Watson realises just what is happening - and how he feels about it.
	To my great surprise he sprang backward with a snarl, livid with rage of which I was the hapless object. "I cannot believe it," he exclaimed. "To think that a man of your age and education, having lived some two-score years upon this planet, cannot solve this simple a conundrum--is it conceivable, I ask you, that an adult member of this great British race who has lived among human beings in both the deserts of Afghanistan and this teeming metropolis, who has exercised the noble art of medicine for years, albeit with no very spectacular success, who has had I might add the not inconsiderable opportunity of observing first-hand for several years the world's leading practitioner of the science of deduction--it beggars belief that this man should, when presented with evidence that surely ought to be enough for any Scotland Yard bungler from Lestrade on downwards, still be incapable of making even the most elementary deduction! I tell you it strains human credulity to the limit. It's too bad, Watson, it really is too bad."
	This is a much recommended story on the net and it's a well-written story that definitely keeps the flavour of the original Holmes stories.
