O sent a file baked into a cake to "of" and it's now back in its proper place (I hope!).
Thank you - it's much better to know about typos than not! I posted this chapter in a bit of a hurry - next time I think I'll sleep on it before I put anything up.
(I changed "the next carriage along" even though I'm pretty sure it would have been OK in British English - you can say "the next one along" for the next in a series of things. But simplest is best!)
Thank you for such a long and thorough review! It's such a treat to see that someone's spotted all my little details...
I had them go in the back way rather than through the brick wall because Weaselby would never have been able to persuade both Holmes and Watson to walk at speed towards a solid wall - or to take one in and leave the other outside pointing hysterically at the entrance to the platform! Though I must say that I like some of the other solutions very much too...
