Fortunately, however, one of Charon's pleasure boats was close at hand, and in a short while the dripping, sputtering spirit was drawn into it, wrung out, and sent home to dry. The excitement attending this diversion having subsided, Solomon asked: "What was the incident of the lost tiara?" FORTUNATELY HOWEVER ONE OF CHARON'S PLEASURE BOATS WAS CLOSE AT HAND AND IN A SHORT WHILE THE DRIPPING SPUTTERING SPIRIT WAS DRAWN INTO IT WRUNG OUT AND SENT HOME TO DRY THE EXCITEMENT ATTENDING THIS DIVERSION HAVING SUBSIDED SOLOMON ASKED WHAT WAS THE INCIDENT OF THE LOST TIARA
ould we in the present instance overlook the minutest bit of evidence, however irrelevant and absurd at first blush it may appear to be. The truth of what I say was very effectually proven in the strange case of the Brokedale tiara, in which I figured somewhat conspicuously, but which have never made public, because it involves a secret affecting the integrity of one of the noblest families in the British Empire. I really believe that mystery was solved easily and at once because I happened to remember that the number of my watch was 86507B. How trivial and yet how important it was, to what then transpired, you will realize when I tell you the incident.” [Picture: Poor old Boswell was pushed overboard] The stranger’s manner was so impressive that there was a unanimous and simultaneous movement upon the part of all present to get up closer, so as the more readily to hear what he said, as a result of which poor old Boswell was pushed overboard, and fell, with a loud splash into the Styx. O DETAIL HOWEVER TRIFLING UNCARED FOR NO MORE SHOULD WE IN THE PRESENT INSTANCE OVERLOOK THE MINUTEST BIT OF EVIDENCE HOWEVER IRRELEVANT AND ABSURD AT FIRST BLUSH IT MAY APPEAR TO BE THE TRUTH OF WHAT I SAY WAS VERY EFFECTUALLY PROVEN IN THE STRANGE CASE OF THE BROKEDALE TIARA IN I FIGURED SOMEWHAT CONSPICUOUSLY BUT WHICH HAVE NEVER MADE PUBLIC BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A SECRET AFFECTING THE INTEGRITY OF ONE OF THE NOBLEST FAMILIES IN THE BRITISH EMPIRE I REALLY BELIEVE THAT MYSTERY WAS SOLVED EASILY AND AT ONCE BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO REMEMBER THAT THE NUMBER OF MY WATCH WAS EIGHT SIX FIVE ZERO SEVEN B HOW TRIVIAL AND YET HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO WHAT THEN TRANSPIRED YOU WILL REALIZE WHEN I TELL YOU THE INCIDENT THE STRANGER'S MANNER WAS SO IMPRESSIVE THAT THERE WAS A UNANIMOUS AND SIMULTANEOUS MOVEMENT UPON THE PART OF ALL PRESENT TO GET UP CLOSER SO AS THE MORE READILY TO HEAR WHAT HE SAID AS A RESULT OF WHICH POOR OLD BOSWELL WAS PUSHED OVERBOARD AND FELL WITH A LOUD SPLASH INTO THE STICKS
