Another mystery for Holmes to solve. A landlady, Mrs Warren comes to Holmes regarding a mysterious tenant who leaves late on their first night, returns and never leaves there room.

It is quite an odd story. Why would Mrs Warren need the police or even Holmes? The tenant pays over the odds for the room, Mrs Warren needs the money. They are quiet, asks only NEVER to be disturbed and makes requests by a note. They cause no problems or issues at all. So, why call in Holmes?

In fact, Holmes isn’t needed in this story what so ever. The police are on hot pursuit, are miffed as to Holmes� appearance and the situation is fully resolved whether Holmes gets involved or not.

So, you have to ask yourself, perfects quiet tenant, the situation resolves itself naturally, the police deal with this WITHOUT Holmes, why write this story in the first place?
