  THE TEN ORLANDO

The greatest detective in the world was worthy of the greatest empire in the world but not just that but the greatest example of life on earth the place that was the heart of it all London.

As SherlockHolmes left the shop where he had his cigarettes made to measure he thought about the fact that life had become boring.No more the erstwhile detective in search of an answer just whiling away his days with the old per cent solution of cocaine and Watson telling him how bad it was for his health. He was dressed in a dark blue suit and black top hat.

"I looked at the symptoms Holmes. I removed the disorders that did not relate to you and narrowed the list down to Asperger’s Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, and Savant Syndrome. Next, I found specific examples from Freud's latest book  that exhibit  you demonstrating the symptoms of each mental disorder." Said Watson. Watson was sitting in front of the blazing fire and smoking a cigar. He looked pleased with himself.

Irritated Holmes replied "Please Watson! Refrain from these wanderings of your imagination, let us say,over-complicated but innocent mind !!!!

Watson shut up. Holmes went on.

"The truth is Watson is I find people boring but I do not find their problems boring if they are good ones and the fact is when was the last good one? The average person's opinion and mind are like a postal package. It arrives and they take out the opinion and then post the same opinion to someone else convinced that some intellectual thought has taken place. Watson was riled and annoyed at Holmes distaste for the common mind. "But Holmes ! People are people and cannot be expected to be like you ". Holmes ignored him and suddenly said "Watson! We have a visitor! Coming down Baker Street at this moment and recently let down in love. She writes poetry and is interested in the Romantic period. And last but not least loves the music of Chopin". Watson was flabbergasted . "Good God Holmes how is it even humanly possible to deduce all that ". Miss Jennifer Cumley a fallen but a gentile woman of Hampstead took the stairs towards Holmes and his deductions. She entered the room led by Mrs Hudson. Holmes had his back to her as he stood looking out the window but then turned in a snap and said " My dear lady pray take a seat you look exhausted. Mrs Hudson ! Tea and quickly"! Miss Jennifer Cumley sat down and said: "Oh thank you Mr Holmes Im so tired ". Holmes half bowed his head in the form of a salute and said "Please Miss Cumley tell us all there is to tell. She gathered her thoughts ." well Mr Holmes I work in a ragged school in Southwark. It is my duty in life to help the poor especially children. Mr Orlando Brown took advantage of me. Mr Orlandp Brown of Savvanah in the United States of America arrived in this country shortly after the civil war. He was a young man then but grew into a man whose profession in life was to take the heart and the finances of young gullible women. I, I am ashamed to say, am one. Holmes suddenly felt bored by the outpourings of the young woman and nearly said to the point woman! But his underlying kindness shone through and he said instead "Let us begin at the beginning then proceed my dear young lady".
