Tonight's story:

The Adventure of the Lion's Mane, by Arthur Conan Doyle

The retired great detective Sherlock Holmes lives in a small villa in Sussex, located on a hillside with a view of the English Channel. Not far from his house is the famous school. One morning, on the way to the beach, Holmes meets the school principal, Mr. Stackhurst. Both see a cliff teacher Teacher Fitzroy MacPherson, suffering from heart disease. Staggering like a drunk, he falls and before his death manages to say: "lion's mane." The teacher’s body is streaked, as if someone had whipped him. Here comes the mathematics teacher Jan Murdoch, an unsociable, reserved person subject to bouts of rage.
