    Summary

    In many ways, taking on the role of father has been little more than a pantomime act. A mould he has haphazardly pressed himself into, but rarely has he felt the tight and ill-fitting walls of that mould more than right now, scrabbling for something to say.

    Iris must see the conflict on his face. It is the sudden tilt to her head and the concerned worry in her lip that finally pushes the words into his mouth.

    “It’s a marvelous story, my dear.” he manages at last, forcing a reassuring smile. It is not a lie. It is marvelous. Sholmes can appreciate good literature when he sees it and this, indeed, has all the hallmarks of a competent novella and would have impressed even if it had not been penned by an eight-year-old’s hand.

    Iris shows Sholmes her first manuscript.

    Summary

    “I feel words alone would be insufficient in crafting an accurate image, even if mine were eloquent. Perhaps I can write my mother to send a photograph.”

    Sholmes scoffed at that, falling against the cushions of the settee. “Perhaps I’ll just have to visit, then. See it for myself. Once you’ve returned home, of course.”

    “You? In Japan? Dear man, you’d stick out like a sore thumb.” Mikotoba said incredulously—or something to that effect, at least. He’d laughed while saying it, and Sholmes had inevitably focused more on that warm, hearty sound than on whatever words preceded it.

    After the conclusion to the Professor Case, Sholmes takes a long-awaited vacation to Japan.
