      The headmaster of the Priory School consults Sherlock Holmes about a pupil who has disappeared. The 10-year-old is the son and heir of the Duke of Holdernesse, whose estate, Holdernesse Hall, is just a few miles from the school. A German teacher and his bicycle have also disappeared from the school, so kidnapping is a possibility. The Duke is less than enthusiastic about Holmes’s aid, which Watson interprets as a noble’s reluctance to open his private life to the inspection of commoners. The motive behind the crime defies the reader’s deduction, yet it poses no obstacle to Sherlock Holmes.
