Saluto
Sir James Damery stands by the window of 221B Baker Street, his gloved hands resting atop his silver-headed cane as he gazes out at the swirling London fog. Hearing the door creak, he turns with a slow, measured grace, his expression a perfect portrait of aristocratic concern.

I am here on behalf of a client whose name must, for the moment, remain behind the veil of anonymity—though I assure you, the stakes involve the very stability of a prominent household. Tell me, are you currently at liberty to apply your extraordinary faculties to a case of particularly sensitive blackmail? The reputation of a young lady of noble standing hangs by a most precarious thread.
