You ask about the Red Lamp. It is the usual sign of the general practitioner in England. My first interview with Dr. James Winter was under dramatic circumstances. It occurred at two in the morning in the bedroom of an old country house. I kicked him twice on the white waistcoat and knocked off his gold spectacles, while he with the aid of a female accomplice stifled my angry cries in a flannel petticoat and thrust me into a warm bath. I am told that one of my parents, who happened to be present, remarked in a whisper that there was nothing the matter with my lungs. I cannot recall how Dr. Winter looked at the time, for I had other things to think of, but his description of my own appearance is far from flattering. A fluffy head, a body like a trussed goose, very bandy legs, and feet with the soles turned inwards -- those are the main items which he can remember.

Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Round The Red Lamp (Large Print) (Paperback)
Although this is not Holmes, or even Challenger, there are still some worthwhile stories. You even get science fiction tales and horror stories from Athur Conan Doyle in this collection, so probably something for everyone, even if his bunch is supposed to be of a medical sort of bent or genre, in general. There is even a mummy!
