   Summary

   The closer time crawls to November, the more water horses the Scorpio Sea spits out. The colder Thisby becomes.
   Sherlock Holmes is an islander - completely surrounded by the water. John Watson, he knows, comes from the mainland and lives for the Races. On the first of November, Sherlock will race. The man holding steady by his side is someone he never expects.
