Young Sherlock Holmes And The Pyramid Of Fear Page #6

---

No.

Elizabeth.

Goodbye.

You'd think he'd uncovered

the entire case on his own.

That's what he wanted

the Yard to believe.

What other reason would they have

for promoting him? Bye, Uncas.

Stay there, Uncas,

I'll be back in a minute.

You know, Holmes,

a few things still haunt me.

Why did you suspect Rathe

was involved with the Rame Tep?

When Waxflatter retired,

the Board wanted him to leave.

Rathe argued until he convinced

the Board to let Waxflatter remain.

I could never understand why Rathe

wanted Waxflatter to stay.

He liked Waxflatter's inventions?

What's wrong with you? Have you

been asleep through this entire case?

Sorry.

Holmes explained that Rathe

spent years plotting his revenge.

He established himself

as a respected member of society,

completely erasing

his former identity.

It took a long time

to organise his followers,

made up of the poor, the homeless,

the lost souls of the streets.

Also, it took time to build

a wooden replica of the pyramid.

Mrs Dribb was the Rame Tep's

chief assassin,

but, more importantly,

she was Rathe's younger sister.

Amazing, Holmes, simply amazing.

- You did forget one important clue.

- Oh? Please enlighten me.

- "Rathe" is "Eh Tar"' spelt backwards.

- Very clever, Watson.

I would have seen that sooner or later.

Sooner or later. Are you coming back

after the holidays?

No, I'll transfer.

There are too many memories here.

- You have your entire life ahead of you.

- And I'll spend it alone.

Merry Christmas, Holmes.

I thought you might have more luck

smoking it.

- Well?

- Seems to suit you. But that coat...

Why do you wear that ridiculous cloak

of that unspeakable person?

Consider it a trophy.

The skin of a leopard.

- Indeed.

- I'm going to miss you, Watson.

I'm going to miss you too, Holmes.

- You were right about something.

- What?

It was the adventure of a lifetime.

- Wait! I know why the bear's white!

- Why is that?

A room with an all-southern view

is on the North Pole. It's a polar bear!

Bravo. You have the makings

of a great detective.

As I watched Holmes settle in,

a sudden feeling came over me,

that I would most certainly

be seeing him again.

So ended my first adventure

with Mr Sherlock Holmes.

As I watched his carriage disappear,

I realised that I'd forgotten to thank him.

He'd taken a weak, frightened boy

and made him into a courageous man.

My heart soared. I was ready for

whatever mystery or danger lay ahead.

I was ready to take on

the greatest adventure of them all.

And I knew it was bound

to involve Sherlock Holmes.

- Can I help you?

- I'd like a room, please.

Please, sir, to sign here.
