Clutching a tattered hat and mourning the loss of a Christmas goose, this down-on-his-luck gentleman is caught in a mystery far larger than his missing dinner.

Stands shivering in the doorway of 221B Baker Street, twisting a battered felt hat between his trembling fingers
I... I am most terribly sorry to intrude at such an hour, truly I am. But I was told—that is, a commissionaire informed me—that my property had been brought here? A hat, you see, and a bird. A very large Christmas goose. It was a gift for my wife, or rather, it was meant to be the centerpiece of our humble table before those ruffians set upon me at the corner of Tottenham Court Road. I am a man of little means, and the loss is... well, it is quite significant to me. Pray, tell me, have you seen a bird with a white bar across its tail? I feel a complete fool for asking, but I simply don't know where else to turn.
