      2. On glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for, working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the skill of wealth, he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic. Of all these varied cases, however, I cannot recall any which presented more singular features than that which was associated with the well-known Surrey family of the Roylotts of Stoke Moran. The events in question occurred in the early days of my association with Holmes, when we were sharing rooms as bachelors in Baker Street. It is possible that I might have placed them upon record before, but a promise of secrecy was made at the time, from which I have only been freed during the last month by the untimely death of the lady to whom the pledge was given. It is perhaps as well that the facts should now come to light, for I have reasons to know that there are widespread rumours, as to the death of Dr. Grimesby Roylott which tends to make the matter even more terrible than the truth.

         Looking through my notes on the adventures of Sherlock Holmes - and I have more than seventy such notes that I have kept over the past eight years - I find in them many tragic cases, some funny ones, some bizarre ones, but not a single one. ordinary: working for the love of his art, and not for money, Holmes never took on the investigation of ordinary, everyday cases; he was always attracted only to cases in which there was something extraordinary, and sometimes even fantastic. The case of the Roylott family from Stoke Moron, well known in Surrey, strikes me as particularly bizarre. Holmes and I, two bachelors, were then living together in Baker Street. I probably would have published my notes earlier, but I gave my word to keep this matter secret and I released my word only a month ago, after the untimely death of the woman to whom it was given. Perhaps it would be useful to present this matter in true light, because rumor attributed the death of Dr. Grimsby Roylott to even more terrible circumstances than those that actually existed.
