And there you have it. In the published record of these events[line 2]Sir Conan Doyle's novel, to be precise...

＠Holmes
...a different “truth” was substituted for the[sr]actual facts of the case, as one would expect.

[charaFace A 8]

＠Holmes
Nor was that the only case where the Clock Tower's[sr]involvement, or magecraft, was skirted around.

There's a roughly three-year period of time between May 4, 1891, the day Holmes goes over the Reichenbach Falls with Professor Moriarty...

...and April 5, 1894, the day he reveals to Watson that he's still alive!

＠A：Sigerson
But whether you are aware of it or not, Madame Blavatsky, the fact remains that modern-day Europe is in the midst of an unprecedented occult boom.
[k]

＠A：Sigerson
While it may not have reached the world of true magecraft, the group of people who believe in ghosts and supernatural phenomena is far greater than you think.
[k]

＠A：Sigerson
Even the criticisms leveled by the Society for Psychical Research have done nothing to turn the tide. At this point, it is a genuine social phenomenon.
[k]

[charaFace A 5]

＠A：Sigerson
Which is why the Clock Tower, and the Mage's Association, cannot afford to completely ignore it.
[k]

＠A：Sigerson
Remember, they were supposedly forced to add a new department at the turn of the last century thanks to Count Cagliostro's influence.
