In the West, there might have been a sequel to this detective story, but we didn’t have access to it. Not knowing that there WAS a sequel and that there might be a happy ending was unbearable!
Therefore, throughout my childhood and adolescence, I was obsessed with the idea of stepping into that final scene with evil Moriarty and changing the terrible ending. And I still am.

“Many, if not most people smoked cigarettes everywhere and there seemed to be a lot of pushing and shoving. I thought I was standing at the bus stop to catch the bus to Akko but no one else seemed to be waiting in line so I asked a woman standing near by if this was where to catch the bus. “Yes, this is the bus stop.” She answered matter of factly. So, I waited the half hour until the bus arrived and when it pulled up to the bus stop I was pushed aside by 25 or 30 people who ran up and pushed and shoved their way onto the bus.”
Phillip Elkins, Coming Home from the War
