Holmes sat in the hansom cab as his friend Watson gathered directions. Without a doubt, he would be returning having been told that the estate he was seeking was just outside of Helsingfors - a Tudor-style mansion named the Copper Beeches. Holmes would have advised him as such had Watson asked - but not having been consulted he instead concentrated on his newspaper. The latest headlines were ablaze with news of Poland's recent setbacks, and the united front that Sweden and Finland were presenting.
Suddenly, the door was thrown open and Watson bundled himself inside. "She's at The Copper Beeches, Holmes. They say its only 30 minutes away..."
"Indeed." Holmes replied. "Excellent work, Watson." The hansom cab pulled away and Holmes smiled to himself. He had not seen his friend this excited for quite some time - no need to worry him with his observations of the skulking shadowy figures that had been pacing them - just out of sight - since their arrival in Finland...
