A Sherlock Holmes Case in French and English
Mrs Warren's new lodger pays well, never leaves his room and speaks to her only through single words printed on scraps of paper. She brings the puzzle to Sherlock Holmes, and the trail leads to coded lamp signals in a London window and a secret society from Italy.
The French text is Louis Labat's 1929 translation, matched to Arthur Conan Doyle's English sentence by sentence. The translator's words are kept; only the spelling and grammar were brought up to today's rules.
