Today we are looking at two stories.
"The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk" was published in The Strand in March 1893.
The plot of this story is very near to that of "The Red-Headed League."
A person is lured from their designated place in order to further a financial crime. The poor victim is named...Hall Pycroft! He's lured from a new job so that someone else can take his place and rob his new employer and blame him.
"The Adventure of the Resident Patient" appeared in The Strand in August 1893.
Here we get a struggling doctor Percy Trevelyan who accepts a patient (a patient who lives with him in the practice offices) with A Past and two curious characters show up and take revenge on their former associate. This is very similar to the story of Victor Trevor's father and (in a way) to Mary Morstan's father.
I can't say either story is remarkable in my mind.
I found I had a horse sticker, so I did a collage of Silver Blaze.

Collage Journaling: easter blue
