SUNDAY, June 14th at 1:30pm: TEA TIME at Baker Street!

Team Tea Time continues their newest series, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's next collection of Sherlock Holmes Adventures -  "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.   TODAY: "The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk" 

A young clerk, Hall Pycroft, consults Holmes with his suspicions concerning a company that has offered him a very well-paid job. Holmes, Watson and Pycroft travel by train to Birmingham, where the job is initially to be based, and Pycroft explains that he was recently made redundant from (i. e., was discharged by) a stockbroking house. He eventually secured a new post with another stockbrokers, Mawson and Williams, in Lombard Street in the City. Before taking up the job, he was approached by Arthur Pinner, who offered him a managership with a newly established hardware distribution company, to be based in France.  But not everything seems quite as it should in the Pinner Brother's Birmingham offices, and thus young Pycroft has engaged the Great Detective.

SUNDAY, February 3 at 1:30pm: TEA TIME at Baker Street!

We continue our journey through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's second collection of adventures by his Great Detective - The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.  THIS WEEK: The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk.

At the outset of the story Watson joins Holmes on a case presented by Mr. Hall Pycroft. Mr. Pycroft is a city clerk and recently he acquired employment with a prestigious brokerage firm called Mawson and Williams. Pycroft gained the position without interview and was instructed to come to the office the following Monday. Almost as soon as he reports for this new position, he encounters strange doings that ultimately draw him from those august halls, into circumstances which require the finely tuned skills of Sherlock Holmes to resolve.
