“Holmes, I realise as I get older my memory is not as good as it once was.  There are, of course, certain events that I will always remember, both the good, such as the day I met my beloved Mary, and the bad, like your death at Reichenbach.  And there are things I no longer remember, which is why I failed to post the letter in my pocket when I went to the village this morning.  However, one thing I do most certainly remember is that we do not own a cat.  So, why is one asleep in my chair?”
