Notes: A week after depositing his wife's jewels at the bank, Lord Arlingford returns to collect them. The manager, Upton Greig, leads him down to the vault, opens the massive double-locked door and the grill beyond, and takes down Arlington's safe deposit box from a shelf. He unlocks it, opens the lid and discovers that the jewels are gone! Sexton Blake is called in. He discovers that one deposit was made in the vault after that of Lord Arlington - a large plate-chest belonging to a Mr and Mrs Matheson Finch. This, it turns out, is empty apart from lumps of pig-iron weighing about hundred and forty pounds. It also has air-holes. Blake remains at the bank until, later, a carriage arrives to collect the chest. It is delivered to a house where Bill Matheson Finch and a thug named Josh determine to bury it come nightfall. In the meantime, they take refuge in the local pub. When they return, the chest is wide open, the stolen jewels have been removed from a hiding place under the hearth, and Sexton BlaKe is pointing a pistol at them. Having caught the thieves, Blake explains to Grieg how they had commited the crime and how he had used the same method to catch them.
Rating:A pleasingly ingenious tale.

THE MERVYN MYSTERY
by Anon. (Ernest Sempill aka Michael Storm) · Illustrator: Unknown
Other content: None
Notes: My copy is missing the cover. George Marsden Plummer, Rupert Forbes, and the latter's servant Tony, escape from Starkmoor Prison and begin a campaign against Sexton Blake and the wealthy socialites of London. Disguised as the secretly murdered Mr. Richard Mervyn, the miserly uncle of the wealthy Lady Marjorie Dorn (to whom Sexton Blake is engaged to be married!), and his business associate, they begin to illegally acquire great wealth. When they try to shoot Tinker before then invading Blake's Baker Street home to demand a truce, the detective responds by declaring war. The two villains beat a hasty retreat but return later to make a murder attempt. It fails. Blake repeatedly foils their various schemes as they commence their campaign against the financial institutions of the city. Then he discovers that their prime target is his own fiance. When he tries to trap them in their lair he is tricked and imprisoned in a cellar. After making an explosive exit (literally), the detective races to a masked ball where Forbes has been impersonating him with the intention of abducting Lady Marjorie. He arrives too late; the dastardly act has been committed and the guests are in a state of confusion. Fortunately Pedro hits on the trail and Blake and Tinker set off in pursuit. The bloodhound leads them to the river but there the chase ends — the villains have got away in a boat. Plummer and Forbes have set up base on a secluded island — the 'Kennel' — in the river. There, Plummer reveals his plan to marry Irma Cunningham, the woman who will inherit the estates of the Earl of Sevenoaks once the latter has been killed. Forbes, meanwhile, schemes against his partner, intending to reap the full rewards of their criminal activities hmself. Plummer abducts Irma and flees to the offices of Richard Mervyn where he mysteriously vanishes. While the detective ponders over this, Tinker slips away to explore around the Kennel and discovers that the villainous duo are living on a submarine which they use to travel along an underground river passing beneath the Mervyn building. Forbes now initiates the biggest heist of all by impersonating the governor of the Bank of England. He makes off with two million but Blake, Tinker and Inspector Martin are close behind and catch up with the villains at the Kennel in time to rescue the imprisoned Lady Dorn and Irma Cunningham. The bad blood brewing between Plummer and Forbes erupts. The latter attacks Plummer and knocks him unconscious into the submarine which promptly sinks. Forbes runs from the detectives but is set upon by his own guard dogs and killed. Blake reveals that the criminal had been his fag at school. He breaks off his engagement to Lady Dorn.
Trivia: Rupert Forbes cuts off two of his own fingers in order to disguise himself as a man whose hand is thus disfigured. Plummer has an Australian accent. Blake's consulting room and sitting room are separate entities according to this author; visitors must cross the former to get to the latter. The detective's bedroom is on the same floor, adjoining the sitting room. Blake employs an actor named Fred Jocelyn to impersonate him. He states that Jocelyn has done so on stage in 'Sexton Blake' and 'Hush Money'. Both of these were real-life plays which toured theatres at the time of this story's publication. But the most remarkable item of trivia presented in this novel concerns the detective's attitude to relationships. For a start, he's engaged. Furthermore, he's worrying about his fiance, Lady Dorn: '... and for perhaps the first time in his life he was confronted with the practical proof that a great passion is irreconciliable with a life devoted to work; he must either serve love or science. There was no middle way. He must give up his life's work or give up Lady Dorn.'
Rating:Possibly the best ever Sexton Blake story, this is incredibly well-written, gripping with every single paragraph (how about this for an example of sheer brilliance: Tinker is '... wrinkling his brows in a way that might have excited a chimpanzee to envy, emulation, and sudden death'). There are too many good things to say about the tale to fit here but highlights include frequent acknowledgements that Blake's good luck is uncanny, a brilliant portrayal of the great detective, his thought processes and his relationship with Tinker, and a thoroughly convincing picture of the psychopathic Plummer.

Notes: From the editorial: 'How Sexton Blake Met Tinker. If my friends have not yet read this week's chapters of "Sexton Blake at Oxford," I want to call their special attention to the fact that in the instalment printed this week it is related how Sexton Blake met Tinker, and how the friendship began between the great detective and his assistant. From the time that, as an urchin of nine, or something thereabout, Blake made Tinker's acquaintance, the two have worked together in innumerable criminal cases in all parts of the world, as my readers doubtless know. Therefore, the event is of considerable importance to all admirers of the feats of Sexton Blake and his boy assistant, Tinker.'

Notes: Lady Molly's friend, Irma Morrison, has been accused of poisoning her husband. Without consulting him first, Molly imperiously assigns Sexton Blake to the case. Irma had been more or less forced into marriage with Henry Morrison by her family. He turned out to be incredibly mean, keeping her a virtual prisoner in their shared home Thorncote, and dismissing all the staff apart from his housekeeper, Mrs Clarke. Six months ago his health had broken down and Irma was forced to nurse him. Then, after dinner one day, he collapsed and died. The verdict was poisoning — and due to the strange disappearance of the glass in which Irma usually gave him his medicine, suspicion fell upon her. When she later stated that she had accidentally broken it and thrown the pieces into the fire, the suspicion intensified. Now, Lady Molly tells Blake, she is sure to be arrested. The police are only waiting for the post-mortem to be performed. Sexton Blake travels to Thorncote and meets Irma. Her story is slightly different: she didn't break the glass accidentally but on purpose, flinging it into the fire after her husband swore at her. The detective examines the body and discovers that a key has been forcibly removed from Mr Morrison's watch chain. This, he finds, fits a hidden safe which has been emptied. In the garden, he finds some freshly dug roots in a corner of the green house. He keeps these, then, returning to the house, asks Irma to serve him a meal identical to that served to her husband. After examining the repast, the detective asks his hostess to pretend to faint. Puzzled, she does so, and Blake quickly calls for the housekeeper. While the servant is occupied, he slips up to her room and recovers a battered box. This, he reveals to the two women, contains money stolen from the safe. Clarke was the killer and the poison had been in the horseradish sauce she served to her master.
Trivia: Lady Molly says to Blake, "I am the one person in the world who can make you do what you don't want to."

Other content: Unknown
Notes: After being out of favour with Lady Molly for several weeks due to his refusal to search for a missing dog, Sexton Blake receives from her a peremptory summons to Ulfreston Golf Club. Molly is one of the guests at a house party being held there. Mrs Avalon Smith, Miss Lethbridge and Lady Molly had been in a changing room preparing for a game of golf. Mrs Smith had placed her jewels, including the famous Cortez ruby, in a locker before leaving for the course with Miss Lethbridge. Lady Molly had lagged behind somewhat, having mislaid a club. She had then left and locked the dressing room door behind her. When the ladies returned, the ruby was gone. The windows remained sealed and the door had not been tampered with. Naturally, the finger of suspicion is pointing at Lady Molly. Worse, one of the gentlemen guests, Captain Sinclair, discovers that Molly's locker key also fits Mrs Smith's locker, which can't be said for any of the other keys. Blake begins his investigation and narrows the suspects down to three men. That evening, he lies in wait and follows a shadowy figure out onto the course, watching as the man retrieves the gemstone from a hollow in a tree trunk. Blake pounces, snatches the ruby and knocks the thief out. Later, he explains to the gatherered party-goers who the culprit is and how that person committed the theft.
