It
certainly did not lack for excitement, nor for ingenuity upon the part of my
friend. Indeed, he came up with several
ploys and strategems which I have no hesitation in saying had to be unique in
the field of crime solution. The
business regarding Her Majesty the Queen and the see-through aspidistra plant
was little less than inspired. And his
employment of radio waves during the period he spent in suspended animation,
prior to erecting the full-size facsimile of the Forth Bridge, was a work of
genius.
I
must emphasize my admiration for the way he dealt with the conundrum of the
Greek lady-boy and the travelling rhinoceros impersonator. And his bravery when confronted by quite so
many fire-walkers whilst he foiled the evil intentions of the psychic triplets
should have earned him the Order of the Garter at the very least.
