Sherlock Holmes The Blue Diamond
CHAPTER 1

An old hat

y name's Dr Watson, and I'm a good friend of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Two days after Christmas last year I went to his house - 221B Baker Street. I wanted to say 'Happy Christmas!' to him. When I arrived, I found him in the sitting-room. He was by the window with some newspapers next to him. There was an old hat on a chair near him, and he had a magnifying glass in his hand. 'You're working on something,' I said. 'Shall I go?' 'No,' said Holmes. 'Sit down and look at that interesting old hat over there.'
