It was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1904 with illustrations by Sidney Paget. It is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
- In the story, Inspector Stanley Hopkins of Scotland Yard asks the brilliant consulting detective Sherlock Holmes to help him investigate a mysterious case of murder. The murder victim was a young man named Willoughby Smith who had been the secretary to an elderly invalid known as Professor Coram. Smith shared a house with the Professor and two female servants. One of those servants found Smith, fatally wounded but not yet dead, after he had been stabbed in the neck with a small knife. A pair of woman's pince-nez spectacles were later discovered in Smith's hand. Curiously, since Professor Coram is obviously male, Smith's last words were, "The professor - it was she".
