Basil this is going to sound SO incredibly silly but I`m in London and lost my pen sometime between yesterday and today (as I`m sure you`ll receive this on the 28th as it`s now REALLY late) and it`s a pen dear to me; it has the capability of doing 8 different colours and has my name on it. I fear I lost it between where I`m staying near Shadwell Station or on the train. Advice? Can you help at all?
Ah Miss Edwards it has truly been awhile!
If you wish for me to take up the case, I must regretfully tell you that today is not optimal for me to be able to venture over in that direction. However as you are familiar with my methods and those of my upstairs neighbour Mr. Holmes, I will therefore advise you to use your logic and observational skills. Retrace the route and keep a keen eye out of the way of it as sometimes items that are fallen to ground level get swept away by wind, movement of feet and wheels and other such things and so it may not be found where it originally fell.
Do let me know if you find success as I can venture down in that direction tomorrow.
