Beware: Accuracy of detail in this walkthrough has not been verified. Grammar
and spelling have not been checked.
NOTE: There is a lot of flexibility in this game, allowing you to go to various
sundry locations in
haphazard order. In fact, the order that I went through the game when writing
the
walkthru is not the
order in which I played the first time - hindsight (or notes) is such a
wonderful
thing. So, this is less
a walkthru than a script of what to do to get past a scene or puzzle.
Items that what you can acquire are in bold, while poignant information or new
map locations are underlined.

LOOK Scarrett and the ending begins
The only thing I never figured out was how Holmes knew there was a composite
involving one of the royal
family - or, more to the point a female member. I suspected a compromising
picture was missing from
Lawton's album, but had assumed it was something that would make Lady Cordelia
break off the
engagement. Yet, when Holmes confronts Major Mysteray he refers to the picture
explicitly.
Overall, though - what fun!

NOTE: There is a lot of flexibility in this game, allowing you to go to various
sundry locations in
haphazard order. In fact, the order that I went through the game when writing
the
walkthru is not the
order in which I played the first time - hindsight (or notes) is such a
wonderful
thing. So, this is less
a walkthru than a script of what to do to get past a scene or puzzle.
Items that what you can acquire are in bold, while poignant information or new
map locations are underlined.

LOOK Scarrett and the ending begins
The only thing I never figured out was how Holmes knew there was a composite
involving one of the royal
family - or, more to the point a female member. I suspected a compromising
picture was missing from
Lawton's album, but had assumed it was something that would make Lady Cordelia
break off the
engagement. Yet, when Holmes confronts Major Mysteray he refers to the picture
explicitly.
Overall, though - what fun!
