SUNDAY, September 18th ~ Two Astounding Events You Will Not Want to Miss!

@ 1:30 pm - TEA TIME at Baker Street!
Our series continues at Tea Time's summer digs at the University of Washington iSchool in SL.  THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES continues, with Kayden, John, and Caledonia. 

Barrymore arouses further suspicion when Watson and Sir Henry catch him at night with a candle in an empty room. Barrymore refuses to answer their questions, but Mrs. Barrymore confesses that Selden is her brother, and her husband is signalling that they have left supplies for him. Watson and Sir Henry pursue Selden on the moor, but he eludes them, while Watson notices another man on a nearby tor. After an agreement is reached to allow Selden to flee the country, Barrymore reveals the contents of an incompletely burnt letter asking Sir Charles to be at the gate at the time of his death. It was signed with the initials L.L.

SUNDAY, August 7th: On The Road Again!

@ 1:30 pm - TEA TIME  at Baker Street - our new series continues at Tea Time's summer digs at the University of Washington iSchool in SL.  HIS LAST BOW  continues with "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax." 

Holmes sends Dr. Watson to Lausanne to investigate Lady Frances Carfax's disappearance since he himself is too busy in London. Lady Frances is a lone, unwed woman denied a rich inheritance on account of her sex. She does, however, carry valuable jewels with her. It is also her habit to write to her old governess, Miss Dobney, every other week, but for the past five weeks, there has not been a word from her. She has left the Hôtel National for parts unknown. Her last two bank transactions were cheques, one to pay her hotel bill, and another for £50 to her maid, Miss Marie Devine.

In Switzerland, Watson finds out that Lady Frances stayed at the Hôtel International for several weeks, but then suddenly left in a hurry one day. Only one witness could suggest an explanation, one involving a big, bearded man who kept hounding her. It also emerges that Lady Frances's maid has left her employ, although it is not known why.  This is just the first strange occurrence to plague the Lady, who suddenly is nowhere to be found.

Corwyn Allen, Kayden Oconnell, John Morland and Caledonia Skytower, live in voice.

SUNDAY, May 15th: TWO UP FOR GREAT TALES!

@ 1:30pm Tea Time at Baker Street continues...
. . . our sojourn at Crazy Eights on LEA 9 with the next adventure from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's collection "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"

THIS WEEK: The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter

Godfrey Staunton is missing! 

Mr. Cyril Overton of Trinity College, Cambridge comes to Holmes seeking his help in Godfrey Staunton's disappearance. Staunton is the key man on Overton's rugby team (who plays at the three-quarters position, hence the story's title), and they will never win the important match tomorrow against Oxford if Staunton cannot be found. Holmes has to admit that sport is outside his field, but he shows the same care he has shown to his other cases. The game is truly a foot!

SUNDAY - Two Opportunities for Enjoyment

Sunday is always a big day for literature on the grid, and this Sunday is no exception . . . Join us!

1:30pm TEA TIME at Baker Street
  

"The Return of Sherlock Holmes" continues as Seanchai Library presents all 13 adventures in the collection in the LEA 9 221b Lounge, concluding at May's ending.

THIS WEEK: "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons"

Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard brings Holmes a seemingly trivial problem about a man who shatters plaster busts of Napoleon. One was shattered in Morse Hudson’s shop, and two others, sold by Hudson to a Dr. Barnicot, were smashed after the doctor’s house and branch office had been burgled. Nothing else was taken. In the former case, the bust was taken outside before being broken.

Holmes knows that Lestrade’s theory about a Napoleon-hating lunatic must be wrong. The busts in question all came from the same mold. Why is he breaking them?

In the Baker Street Arena.  Enter the door to 221b and join the happy Tea Time crew.
