Prior to relating the story of The Adventure of the Pince-Nez (1904), Watson looks over his notes on the cases in the year 1894. He writes, "As I turn over the pages I see my notes upon the repulsive story of the red leech and the terrible death of Crosby the banker." Some may argue that these are two separate cases, but I combined them into one.
Clayton Crosby comes to Holmes for help, but because of Croby's haughty and uncooperative manner, Holmes turns him down. A few days later, Holmes receives a message that the banker has been found dead in his office. The manner of Crosby's death is bizarre, but stranger yet is finding a red leech in a small box upon the banker's desk.
