Gravesend 1920. A famous mystery writer, while searching through the remains of a damaged church looking for story ideas, happens upon a document that was never meant to be found or read.

And
he Mystery Writer
As reated rom te persona notes o Mary N. Watson
ondon, 1920
Capter 1
To begîn et me întroduce myse to te reader wo may not know me, ï am Mary N. Watson Dr. Jon Watson’s wîdow. ï was întroduced to Serock Homes a number o years ago în “he Sîgn o Four.”ï ad engaged îs detectîve servîces concernîng a amîy matter and tat was aso te Irst tîme ï met my uture usband. On tîs occasîon, te detectîve ad ormay întroduced îmse as Mr. Serock Homes and aready knowîng o îs reputatîon ï addressed îm wît te esteem and respect e was due. hîs orma rîtua o greetîng was ater transormed wen e came to spend îs Irst Crîstmas day (at our învîtatîon) wît my usband and me. Jon în îs narratîve o “he Terrîble Secret” expaîns te cange best.
ï remember te Irst Crîstmas just ater our weddîng as ormal întroductîons were beîng made. ï started to use te amîlîar (to me) way ï ad always addressed my rîend as part o te întroductîon to my wîe. But someow ï could see tat se wouldn’t tînk ît proper to be so personal and would eel awkward în usîng my comortable and amîlîar term wenever addressîng Holmes. Holmes sensîng my îmmedîate socîal dîlemma and Mary’s dîscomort perceptîvely eased te sîtuatîon by serenely statîng “My broter Mycrot addresses me as Serlock and you sould as well.” Wen te întroductîons went te oter way, ï wasn’t sure î ï sould use my wîe’s Irst name or stay wît te more tradîtîonal “Mrs. Watson.” Mary no doubt ollowîng Holmes relaxed attîtude towards names în întroductîons and stated “our close rîends know me as Mary and so may you.”
Beore ï begîn my account o te oowîng afaîr, ï must assure te reader tat ï wî not be makîng any attempt to copy or emuate în
any way te wrîtîng stye or detectîve skîs o my ate usband. ï am certaîny not as an accompîsed or experîenced wrîter, nor do ï ave te same deductîve skîs tat Jon possessed. Wît Jon sarîng and goîng troug îs journas wît me and ater goîng back on my own to read and study tem agaîn ï ave come to earn ow to accuratey observe ten record (wîtout bîas) te crîtîca acts and events as tey unod. Aso as a resut o my soîtary eforts ï now ave a better understandîng o te basîcs o deductîve reasonîng. hîs cronîce you are about to read came to pass soey as a consequence o a promîse ï made to my dyîng usband and because Serock came to me and to my rîend’s aîde and assîstance wen we needed îm, despîte te cîrcumstances e was în at te tîme. Pease note: to any ong tîme devoted oower amîîar wît wat as been reerred to or known as te “Serock Homes Canon” te oowîng narratîve may seem somewat unamîîar as în beîng wrîtten by a woman. You wî no doubt mîss seeîng and readîng suc amîîar terms my usband used troug out îs wrîtîng suc as “Homes” and “my rîend” în te text o my account wen specîIcay reerrîng to Serock. ï beîeve because o my prîvîeged and unîque rîendsîp ï can ofer a dîferent perspectîve and vîew o te consutîng detectîve rom te one tat everyone as come to assocîate wît Jon’s wrîtîng ater a tîs tîme. hîs wî în part be reLected by ow ï reer to te consutîng detectîve trougout and ï pray te reader ave patîence wît tîs new orm untî te ast word o te narratîve as been read and wî bear wît me în my dîferent and unîque stye o journaîsm. Fînay ît soud be mentîoned tat tîs serîes o events was ormay recorded we ater te matter at and ad come to a successu concusîon. ï tougt ît most împroper at te tîme and too muc o a remînder to Serock o te roe Jon ad payed as îs Boswe by avîng me oow te detectîve around makîng entrîes înto a journa every tîme e uttered a word or perormed some actîon.
