I've been reading some Holmes pastiches, recently, and it inspired me to do a bit with the characters. "Furryized," of course. (Holmes, for these purposes, is a wolf, and Doctor Watson a red deer.)
A peer has come to Baker Street with on odd problem: why has an illegitimate relative made some polite, but firm, requests regarding a parcel of land in a run-down area of London?

Second furry Holmes homage this month; The Whiteboard is doing a Holmes story using characters from the strip: http://the-whiteboard.com/autotwb-holmes01.html
Yes. (You can see a satirical print regarding the green bags here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/.....green_bags.jpg ). The gist of it was that Caroline, consort of the Prince Regent, and later George IV, was accused of adultery. The evidence for this adultery was provided to the House of Lords, which was considering the "Pains and Penalties Bill of 1820", in the form of documents contained in green bags. Hence the reference. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pains.....ties_Bill_1820) There was fierce debate over how, precisely, Lords and Commons should consider this evidence. The implication for the story is that a previous Baron St. Mary had been involved in gathering this rather dubious and salacious evidence.
As a fellow Holmes mystery reader and listener (I have collected quite a lot of the Holmes audio mystery stories myself), I'm finding quite a lot of ideas that could come about for Holmes from just what you've done so far.
But, as Holmes has said, 'The game's afoot, my dear Watson!'. So I shall wait to gather more evidence and information before presenting my own idea into why the young stranger wants the house.

My uncle Peter Costello has published some works on Conan Doyle, so there's that for me. I'm also seriously hooked on the original stories (I have a well-thumbed Annotated Sherlock Holmes), plus I've read many pastiches. In fact, a two-volume set I backed on Kickstarter, which came last week, triggered this setup. Conan Doyle was a genius, in many ways.
