The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
Where can I get a handle that'll work with the spade blade?
1 of 8: There's nothing inside the shed that'll work, so look around outside.
2 of 8: Look to the right of the stairs that lead up to the attic door.
3 of 8: There's a broom there that has a decent-looking handle.
4 of 8: Click on the broom to get a close-up, then look it over to see what's holding its handle on.
5 of 8: It's the bit of rope that you can see near the bottom of the handle.
6 of 8: You'll need to cut that rope to get the handle loose.
7 of 8: Select the pocket knife in inventory, then click on the rope to cut it and get the handle.
8 of 8: NOTE: If you've broken your pocket knife trying to pry some boards in the attic, you'll have to get the screwdriver from the shed's toolbox and use it instead.
