  The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.

Staunton is the key man on Overton's rugby union team (who plays at the three-quarters position, hence the story's title) and they will not win the important match tomorrow against Oxford if Staunton cannot be found. Holmes has to admit that sport is outside his field, but he shows the same care he has shown to his other cases.Staunton had seemed a bit pale and bothered earlier in the day, but late in the evening, according to a hotel porter, a rough-looking, bearded man came to the hotel with a note for Staunton which, judging from his reaction, contained rather devastating news. He then left the hotel with the bearded stranger and the two of them were seen running in the direction of the Strand at about half past ten. No one has seen them since.Overton has wired to Cambridge to find out if Staunton has been seen there; he has not. He has also wired Lord Mount-James, Staunton's very wealthy and thoroughly miserly uncle and nearest living relative, but has heard no answer. Staunton is the almost-eighty-year-old Lord Mount-James's heir, but he must meanwhile live in relative poverty owing to his uncle's miserly behaviour...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

  The Jelly-Bean

  In a quiet Southern town where time drifts as slowly as the heat, Jim Powell has earned a name—and not a flattering one. 
  They call him a “Jelly-Bean.” 
  A man who idles. A man who watches life pass him by. 
  Once tied to a respected family, Jim now lingers on the edges of society—haunting garages, street corners, and pool halls—until one unexpected invitation pulls him into a world he no longer belongs to. 
  At a glittering country club party, beneath soft lights and the hum of music, Jim comes face to face with everything he’s lost… and everything he never had. At the center of it all is Nancy Lamar—radiant, reckless, and utterly out of reach. 
  For one fleeting night, chance and courage collide. 
  But by morning, everything has changed. 
  Written in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s signature early style, The Jelly-Bean is a quiet, piercing portrait of class, longing, and the moment a man sees himself clearly for the first time. 
  A story of drifting youth, sudden awakening, and the cost of standing still.
