Read the excerpt from “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.” “Peterson brought it here on Christmas morning, along with a good fat goose. The facts are these: about four o’clock on Christmas morning, Peterson, a very honest fellow, was coming home from a holiday party. In front of him, he saw a tall man, carrying a white goose over his shoulder. As the man reached the corner of Goodge Street, a group of roughs attacked him. One knocked off his hat. So the man raised his stick to defend himself. But when he swung the stick over his head, he accidentally smashed the shop window behind him."

“Peterson had rushed forward to protect the stranger from his attackers. But the man, shocked at having broken the window, and seeing an official-looking person in uniform running towards him, dropped his goose and took to his heels. The roughs also ran away. And so Peterson was left with this battered hat and a marvelous Christmas goose.”
