and that really flooded?
something I do not remember such a story of Conan Doyle, this is a fantasy of the artist or the Director?
Anecdote recalled in the subject
"a Disheveled servant ran into the room of Lord and shouts:
— Sir! Flood! The Thames burst its banks! After 5 minutes she will be here!!!
Lord lays the newspaper:
— John, come forth and report as befits an English servant.
Exactly 5 minutes later the door swings open widely and appears to John with the words:
— the Thames, sir!"
