Tonights story: The Adventure of Charles Augusts Milverton https://sherlock-holm.es/stories/html/chas.html, by Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes and Watson return to Baker Street from one of their walks to find the calling card of one Charles Augustus Milverton, a name that means nothing to Watson but one that disgusts Holmes. Holmes tells Watson that Milverton is the “worst man in London” and the “king of all the blackmailers”. Milverton pays large sums of money for compromising material and receives much from maids, valets and other sources, and then, when the time is right, demands a great deal more to not release the content of the said material. Noble families have been brought to their knees, and more than one suicide can be attributed to the work of Milverton.

Tonight, we conclude our story: The Adventure of The Naval Treaty https://sherlock-holm.es/stories/html/mems.html#Story-10, by Arthur Conan Doyle Percy Phelps, a young Foreign Office employee from Woking, sends a letter to Dr. Watson, a former schoolfellow of his. Phelps indicates something has caused him a nine-week attack of "brain fever"; now that he has recovered, he begs Watson to bring Holmes to his aid. Holmes views the letter, and deduces that it was dictated to, and written by, a woman. He accompanies Watson to Briarbrae, Phelps house. There, they are greeted by Joseph Harrison, the brother of Phelps fiancee Annie. Joseph shows them in to see Phelps, who is still recovering from his long illness and being nursed by Annie (the author of the letter). Phelps lays the case before Holmes. Two months earlier, his uncle and superior in the Foreign Office, Lord Holdhurst, had ordered him to copy an important naval treaty between England and Italy. The treaty was to be kept secret, for many foreign governments were willing to pay great sums to get their hands on it. Phelps told no one of this assignment, and waited until the building was empty except for Tangey, the commissionaire, and his wife, who did the charring. Phelps then copied the papers as quickly as he could, because he was hoping to meet Joseph at the train station. However, it soon became apparent the task would take most of the night.

She has left with a neighbour, Dr. Ray Ernest, taking a sizeable quantity of cash and securities. Amberley wants the two tracked down.

He does his best, observing that Amberley is busy painting his house, which seems a bit odd. He even sees Amberleys wifes unused theatre ticket; she and her young man disappeared while Amberley went to the theatre alone after his wife complained of a headache.
