He describes the unique case involving the Roylott family from Surrey, which occurred early in his partnership with Holmes while they were living together in Baker Street. Watson recalls waking up to find Holmes unusually early, as a young lady in distress had come to seek Holmes's help. The case is shrouded in intrigue and mystery, particularly concerning the death of Dr. Grimesby Roylott, which has led to rumors that complicate the truth. Watson notes that Holmes only engages in unusual and fascinating investigations, setting the stage for a gripping tale.
