Sorry for the delay. I was on vacation, and after my flight home I basically spent an entire day sleeping it off.
In any case, I love my story. It sounds very Watsonian! And you have mastered a skill I'm afraid that I lack in creating a plausible mystery. It was nice to see that you gave Holmes some stumbling blocks, too. I do like it when a case is complicated. You had me chasing a wild hare, wondering if the boys got switched at birth, for part of the story, which was an excellent use of misdirection.
I also like it when stories remember that Watson is a doctor as well as a biographer, so that element was most satisfactory.

All in all, a wonderful job. Thank you!
