What The Brandy Is For

September 12, 1902Dear Mr. Holmes,Excuse me taking the liberty but I thought you should know that I done something I promised you years ago never to do. It was all for the client and I think it will be all right for Kitty Winter is not one to spread idle gossip but I did want you to hear it from me first that I told her. That is, I told her the story about how we first met.*****Shinwell "Porky" Johnson tells Kitty Winter the story of how he came to work for Sherlock Holmes.This is written to work as a stand-alone, but it's also part of the "Missing Pages" series. This story, "Contra Mundum," "Tempus Fugit," and "The Cornwall Job" all cover the same events, from different points of view. It doesn't matter too much which order you read them in, though the events described take place shortly after "A Close Shave."
