Holmes the Meddler
Realizing that Holmes is deliberately evading him, Dr. Roylott openly displays his anger. He steps forward with a hunting crop raised and begins insulting Holmes as a meddler and a scoundrel. Holmes remains seated and entirely composed, watching the furious visitor with an expression of quiet amusement. The scene begins from this carefully established point.
