Surprisingly, Arthur Conan Doyle hats mlb never mentions a deerstalker hat in his Sherlock Holmes stories, though he describes Holmes s  sharp, eager face framed in his ear-flapped travelling cap in  Silver Blaze. It was the original illustrator, Sidney Paget, who added this detail to scenes of Holmes in the country (it would have been inappropriate to wear a deerstalker in town, where a top hat or homburg would have been more likely choices). The curved meerschaum pipe associated with Holmes was not in the Doyle stories, either: it was the choice of actor William Gillette and stuck with the character.

The sound of the whistle fascinates Parkins, but as he sleeps he is haunted by a terrifying vision of a long stretch of shore, absent of any distinguishing features except a man, fleeing.

Is it their father who has come for them? Or is it, as the babysitter suggests, the Specialist? And is this what we find terrifying in the story: the disappearance of the father, his replacement by a simulacrum, almost identical, someone who pretends to love them but who is fundamentally a stranger? Quis est? Perhaps this is part of the terror, but it isn t everything. What leaves us most disturbed, I think, is not their father s transformation into the Specialist but rather their own transformation, facilitated by their interaction with the Specialist s hat  the lamella.
