7. I'm Nova: A case brings Sherlock and Watson outside the UK.
"Well, my dear Watson," Holmes said, shielding his eyes from the punishing sun, "In this, you shall be more than my right-hand man; you shall have to be an extension of myself. Regretfully, in my studies, I have focused more on European languages than Asiatic ones...should our man have chosen to hide in Bavaria or Nice, I should be more comfortable. I am correct in assuming you speak enough of the language to get us by?"
"I think so," I answered. "It has been some years since I was in India, but I think I recall well enough. I spoke fair enough Hindi by the time I left service, and I know a passable amount of Tamil and Urdu. Of course, don't over-flatter me, Holmes; many of the natives we will encounter speak excellent English."
"Don't undervalue the power of knowing language," Holmes said. "Now, our first step is to find a hostel for us to lay down our bags. Then the game is afoot."
