Summary
"This is the picture," said Sherlock, holding the oil painting up high against the wall and then moving to stand over to one side, so that John could see it.
"Oh, wow," said John in admiration, and stepped backwards in order to be able to view it properly. "Excellent birds!" He liked the way the artist had depicted the beautiful birds, their wings spread delicately in flight and reflected in the mirror-smooth surface of the water below them.
"Quite." Sherlock agreed, after a long pause. "That's what it's called actually, 'Excellent Birds'. Now the point is, John, the artist who painted this has disappeared... 'Into thin air', it has been said. Which as any idiot knows is impossible." -
