streaksof ghostly frost,shimmering and fading in the light thrown up bythe few passing hansom cabs below.It was Christmas Eve of thedying year 1894,a twelvemonth that had been one of remarkableaccomplishments for my friend Sherlock Holmes,who had withinit returned from his travels as the Norwegian explorer Sigerson,and had then resolved the problems I would later record as TheEmpty House,The Golden Pince-Nez,and the Norwood Builder.Ihad lately been transcribing my notes regarding the singular affairof the Vendetta of the Red Centipede,a case which my compan-ion,however—much to my chagrin—insisted on my withholdingfrom publication,given its revelations concerning the involvementof several members of a high ranking family in the Chinese opiumtrade.  \nMy companion now rested snugly in his comfortable chairbefore the blazing logs of our hearth,the warmth of our fire bid-ding defiance to the elements beyond our windows,much,as I'doften thought,as his own intellect so often shone forth amid thedark spirits of so many of his fellow creatures.We had dined,thetwo of us,on an exceptional goose prepared with extra relish byour most beneficent landlady,and were enjoying glasses of port bythe fire,Holmes now preparing to fill his pipe for the second timesince our bountiful repast  \n“Yes,Watson,\"he suddenly spoke,\"It is indeed a night to recallthe Christmas Eves of years gone by,and the happy times we haveexperienced ourselves on those occasions.\"  \nI was,of course,startled at his once again reading my unspo-ken thoughts.  \n“But how—”  \nHe gave forth that sigh I had so often before heard on suchoccasions,not so much in condescension to the curiosity of a lesser  \nA Christmas Carol at 221B  \nintellect,but more,I think,in lonely recognition of how very pecu-liar were his own abilities,and of how far they separated him fromall others.  \n“Once again mere child's play,my good friend,”he interrupted,while scooping the latakia from his Persian slipper.He proceededto fill,tamp and light his briar.I knew I need say no more,sooften had I questioned him on his amazing deductive abilitiesthat he knew without my saying another word that I required anexplanation.  \n“You have been reading Mr.Dickens'remarkable story of AChristmas Carol for much of the evening—an account to bringthe warmth of the season to any reader,and bring to mind anysuch Christmas Eves as we have experienced thus far ourselves.You rubbed your own limb,aching once again from the change intemperature that you experienced in coming in this evening fromyour volunteer work at St.Bart's—that old wound a continuingreminder of your service in Afghanistan,and now,once again,ofthe fellowship you experienced there with so many now-departedcomrades in arms on the two Christmases you spent with them.Those stories you have more than once told me,of good cheer andfellowship enhanced and seasoned all the more by its contrast tothe many dangers of your situation in hostile surroundings.Thenyour eyes naturally turned to the photograph,kept close to yourchair,of your beloved late wife,whose presence you so sorely misson this third Christmas Eve without her.But the happy memoriesof those years alone were enough to generate the deep sigh youexhaled,and the wistful tear you nearly shed,before I—perhapsinconsiderately?—broke into your stream of memories.But come,let us drink to the most singular and much-missed Mary MorstanWatson.”  \nThere was no need for me to exclaim once more my amaze-ment at my friend's remarkable abilities.I simply nodded,speech-less yet again;and we touched our glasses in silence,both imbibing  \nThomas
