First sentence: I find it recorded in my notebook that it was a bleak and windy day towards the end of March in the year 1892.
Description: This collection opens with an exasperated Holmes grumbling that all the audacity and romance seems to have vanished from the criminal world of London. His mood brightens when Mr. John Scott Eccles is ushered in, dishevelled and almost incoherent in his attempt to splutter out an account of his mysterious night visit to Wisteria Lodge. Sherlock Holmes is once again plunged headlong into the thick of a curious murder case.
