I doubt this is from _The Hound of the Baskervilles._ I guess I need to re-read my Doyle in 2019. I don’t remember anyone else at the moment… 2 DQs reserved. ---

Dingdingding! Yes, indeed, I am the plump, dull London pawnbroker Jabez Wilson who was conned in “The Red-Headed League”: [The Red-Headed League - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red-Headed_League) I’ve used him for IQs in several previous Botticelli rounds, most recently in June. Good job, **Prof. P.**! Please start a new January thread for a “K” person. ---
