Team Tea Time continues Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's collection of Sherlock Holmes Adventures - "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. TODAY: "The Adventure of the Resident Patient"
Doctor Percy Trevelyan brings Holmes an unusual problem.
Having been a brilliant student but a poor man, Dr. Trevelyan has found himself
a participant in an unusual business arrangement. A man named Blessington,
claiming to have some money to invest, has set Dr. Trevelyan up in premises
with a prestigious address and paid all his expenses. In return, he demands
three-fourths of all the money that the doctor’s practice earns, which he
collects every evening, going over the books thoroughly and leaving the doctor
five shillings and threepence of every guinea from the day’s takings.
Blessington is himself unwell, it turns out, and likes this arrangement because
he can always have a doctor nearby.
Everything has gone fairly well for the doctor since the
arrangement began. Now, however, something has happened to Mr. Blessington. He
has become excitable and agitated this after he said that he had read about a
burglary somewhere in the city.
