Green Tea; Mr. Justice Harbottle

The narrator, a learned yet itinerant German physician, has spent decades arranging his mentor Dr. Martin Hesselius’s extensive case notes. In a series of letters to a Dutch professor, he translates and adapts these observations for a curious lay audience, mixing straightforward description with the precise, sometimes unsettling analysis of a true medical mind. The tone is scholarly but accessible, inviting listeners to follow a Victorian‑era investigation that feels part diary, part detective story.

One of the early entries introduces the dignified Rev. Mr. Jennings, a well‑heeled clergyman whose health inexplicably falters during the very moments he is meant to lead his congregation. His sudden collapses, described in vivid yet restrained language, hint at a hidden ailment that may be physical, mental, or something more uncanny. As the physician uncovers details of Jennings’s lifestyle, finances, and mysterious episodes, listeners are drawn into a puzzle that balances scientific curiosity with the eerie atmosphere of 19th‑century England.
