...point. The problems of the present may be deferrable, those of the future soluble. But by whom? Americans have traditionally sacrificed to educate their young and believed in the next generation's competence to settle a troubled world. Today that assumption is widely questioned.

Wolfe's hints about his origin place his birth in the early 1890s, and allude obscurely to the old Balkan kingdom of Montenegro. Holmes, after his final encounter with Professor Moriarty in Switzerland in 1891, is believed to have traveled through Italy. Is it possible that he ended up in Montenegro and solaced himself by having an affair-perhaps with his old flame, Opera Singer Irene Adler, who happened to be touring the Balkans? Egad!
