World: Europe: Switzerland

Switzerland Flag (believed correct) Republic in central Europe, pop. 3,315,443 [1900]. [JT]


FINA: Holmes and Watson plan to hide out in Switzerland while the London police nab Moriarty and his gang.

Holmes:"In the meantime we shall treat ourselves to a couple of carpet-bags, encourage the manufactures of the countries through which we travel, and make our way at leisure into Switzerland, via Luxembourg and Basle."


EMPT: Col. Sebastian Moran was with Moriarty in Switzerland and witnessed the encounter at Reichenbach.

Holmes:"... and it was undoubtedly he who gave me that evil five minutes on the Reichenbach ledge."
