The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes:
The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger
PLOT SUMMARY: A dying woman who has worn a veil ever since the tragedy which caused the death of her husband also horribly mutilated her face. She calls on Holmes to confess the true story of the tragedy.
By Todd Pence on Friday, April 27, 2001 - 10:57 am: This is the only original story in which Holmes neither conducts an investigation nor tries to solve a problem or a crime. All he does is hear a confession.
By kerriem. on Wednesday, May 16, 2001 - 5:50 pm: I like the part Holmes plays here, though; he shows up as very noble and wise. And the woman's story itself is a remarkably unsentimental bit of ironic tragedy.
