ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE

About the story.

A pawnbroker has been paid handsomely to do very little work, apparently because of the color of his hair. When the peculiar arrangement ends, he brings its details to Sherlock Holmes in search of an explanation.

The story begins with an absurd advertisement and becomes a study in how ordinary routines can hide extraordinary intentions. Holmes listens carefully to a complaint that most people would dismiss as merely ridiculous.
