One of my favorites of Sherlock Holmes short stories because Sherlock is not only clever, but witty.

As others have referred to this as a morally ambiguous tale, I must agree, though I am not sure that morally is the right word as much as legally. I think morally all, yes including the villain, were in the right. People shouldn't have such things to hide and should have a standing offer of paying their employees more if they did.

This one was quite enrtertaining! I liked seeing Watson and Holmes on the other side of things for once. And that ending with Lestrade made me giggle.
