In "The Boscombe Valley Mystery," part of Arthur Conan Doyle's "A Case of Identity," Dr. Watson receives a telegram from Sherlock Holmes while having breakfast with his wife. Holmes invites Watson to join him on a trip to the west of England to investigate a tragedy in Boscombe Valley, emphasizing the perfect air and scenery. Watson's wife encourages him to go, suggesting that a change of environment would be beneficial for his health. After quickly packing, Watson meets Holmes at Paddington Station, where Holmes expresses gratitude for Watson's company, as he prefers to have someone reliable alongside him. They board the train, and Holmes rummages through papers related to the case, noting that while the situation seems simple, it can be quite complicated to unravel.
