A NOTE FOR SUBSCRIBERS
Copyright and More Info
Welcome to the fifth issue of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine. When the notion of this magazine was first proposed to Mr Holmes, he agreed to permit four issues to be published, after which he would decide whether he still wished to permit the use of his name in the title of the periodical. I am both pleased and relieved (for I do receive royalties for this endeavour) to report that Holmes has graciously granted his ongoing permission to allow SHMM to continue.
In celebration thereof, the publisher has devoted this fifth number entirely to Mr Holmes and myself, leading off with my own account of The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor. The choice of this story is in keeping with the policy of my colleague and coeditor Mr Kaye, who elects to follow the approximate dating of our cases as proposed by the late scholar William S Baring-Gould. Now some aficionados regard this chronology as flawed, but so far as I am concerned, it is an acceptable guideline because, in truth, even I cannot always be sure when certain adventures took place. It all happened, after all, quite some time ago.

Well, I could not resist sharing the above venerable missives with my faithful readers, but now let us turn to more immediate concerns. Dear readers, here is one of my favourite recipes for rack of lamb. I remember one rainy night in October Mr Holmes came back late from chasing around London, and I had it ready for him. I was shocked to have him grasp me by the shoulders and plant a kiss on my forehead! An unusual display of emotion for him, to be sure, but often the surest way to a man’s stomach … well, dear reader, you know the rest.
