  A man named Trevor Bennett, the personal secretary of one Professor Presbury, comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is engaged to the professor's daughter, Edith, and the Professor is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, although he himself is already 61 years of age. Their impending marriage has caused no scandal, but the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of the engagement. First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone of his destination, with the family later learning that he had been to Prague. Upon returning, Presbury unprecedentedly forbid Mr Bennett from opening certain stamped letters. The professor had also brought a carved wooden box from Prague, and became very angry with Bennett for touching it. 
  The whole household also observes severe changes in the man's personality: he has become furtive and sly, with changes in his moods and habits, some of which are quite bizarre, though not impeding his functions. Bennett notes particularly strange incidents: one, in which he saw the professor crawling along the hall on his hands and feet and his master swore him off; and another, witnessed by Edith Presbury, who saw her father at two o'clock in the morning at her bedroom window on the second floor.

  Sex Surrogates were developed for human colonies where it was so tough to survive that only men were sent there for months and even years. The foothold on these planets was tenuous and death was an everyday distinct possibility. So no women were sent there yet. But these brave men wanted women and to provide a very temporary and stopgap solution, Sex Robots or Sex surrogates were developed and shipped out to them. Crude at first, these were slowly refined and improved until the men began to bring them back to Earth, preferring them to human women. This did not set well with human women and so the Sexual Morality Laws outlawed all production. Of course despite fierce attempts to suppress them, illegal underground factories still tried to supply the demand for them from men who had heard the stories and could afford to try something forbidden and 'a bit more'. Our protagonist here is one of these rich men and he has perhaps bitten off more than he can chew. Or perhaps he has not bitten off not quite enough? Listen to this humorous tale of sex in the far future by the famous SF Robert Sheckley, and see why he says to "accept no substitutes'.
