Missing husband, off on an opioid binge — that’s how Conan Doyle started the Sherlock Holmes story “The Man With the Twisted Lip.”

The addict’s wife comes to Dr. Watson about her addict husband who’s been missing for two days. Watson sets out for the opium den, finds the husband, and packs him off home in a cab.

But who else does Watson meet there, but Sherlock Holmes! The game’s afoot.

I forgot that. I too read Doyle’s story, “The Man With the Twisted Lip.”.

I have the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes in two volumes.

Sherlock was hooked on opium.
