Read the excerpt from “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.”

To my surprise, the salesman was suddenly furious.

“Now, then, mister, what do you want? Let’s have it straight, now.”

But all day long, it’s been ‘Where are the geese?’ and ‘Who did you sell the geese to?’ and ‘What will you take for the geese?’ You’d think they were the only geese in the world, to hear the fuss that’s been made over them.”

“Well, I don’t know who else has been asking,” said Holmes casually. “If you won’t tell us, the bet is off, that’s all...."
