A Sherlock Holmes Case in English and French
Walking through a rough street by the London docks, Mrs St. Clair looks up and sees her husband at the window of an opium den. When she gets into the room, he is gone. The only man there is a disfigured beggar, and Sherlock Holmes has a night of pipe smoke ahead of him.
