    Redmond's Delicate Question

    Like "The Illustrious Client", this tale deals essentially not with the aftermath of a crime or other incident, but with attempts to prevent something -- in this case the "scandal" to which the title refers. If such cases were a significant part of Holmes's work, is "detective" really the right word to describe him?
