Hi all,

'Or could the chief have given'
should be
'Or could the thief have given'

Apart from that tiny correction, I had a wonderful reading all of the 60 Sherlock Holmes stories you have created.

Thanks to everyone involved in this mammoth task.

It is actually "chief" in print, and I checked several different
editions to confirm:
