AN EARLY STORY and a late one, each in its own way unusual.
Sherlock Holmes told his friend Watson that the case of "The Gloria Scott " was the beginning of his career as a professional detective. It occurred during his student days, and it concerned theft, murder and blackmail - but it gave Holmes little opportunity to exercise his deductive skills. The complex problem of "Wisteria Lodge", on the other hand, gave him plenty of scope. - and set him in friendly rivalry with Inspector Baynes of the Surrey Constabulary, the only police official who was unarguably his equal as a detective.
