“Naturally.” London’s papers were filled that spring with news of the impending state visit by the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
“I should think this a time for celebration, Holmes, not exasperation.”
“Were it not for my brother, I would be inclined to agree.”
“Mycroft? Whatever has he done?”

“They mean to disrupt the visit?”
“Indeed, and I shall not rest until they are caught. They call themselves the ‘Daleks.’”
