Our 29th Meeting!

Our 29th meeting was conducted on Tuesday, October 15, 2019, and began at 7pm at 5905 Carolina Beach Road, Unit 7, in Monkey Junction. Attending was (from left to right) Pat, Michelle, Barb, Beth, Bill, Tom, and Rick.  Linda is taking the picture!

Notes from this meeting:

• Tom read a quote from "A Study in Scarlet", and it was successfully guessed by Barb, Linda, and someone else who forgot to put their name on their slip of paper. 
• Michelle did a wonderful job at presenting a character description which nobody could guess (Tom did guess the story).  The character was Tonga from the story "Sign of the Four". 
• Michelle also presented a fun fact - Although they go armed with a gun in several stories, Sherlock and Watson shoot at someone only once in all of the stories Arthur Canon Doyle wrote. That story is  "Sign of the Four", and they are shooting at Tonga!
• The mystery to solve tonight was "The Masked Murder", and joint credit goes to Rick and Linda for the solution.  Rick guessed that Victor was not human, and LInda guessed that Victor was a dog, and that he buried the gun!  Well done, Rick and Linda!
• Tom did a fair job at presenting tonight's story entitled "The Crooked Man".  It was barely good enough to solicit discussion from the group.
