"our Eastern Empire" [EMPT] A recent outing at a Polish restaurant prompted some thinking about Sherlock Holmes in that country and in other areas of Eastern Europe. What locales from the Austrian-Hungarian and Ottoman empires find their ways into the Canon? The cities, countries, and regions giv…

"all life is a great chain" [STUD] Sherlock Holmes is "Pope's version of the ideal Man, the one who attains his greatest potential without vainly attempting to rise above it." So says Anastasia Klimchynskaya, BSI ("An Old Russian Woman") in her thesis regarding Alexander Pope's four-epistle volum…
"with many chuckles" [HOUN] We typically don't guffaw ourselves through the Sherlock Holmes stories. They're not designed to bowl us over with amusement. Nor do we snicker, sneer, or chortle. But there was a good deal of chuckling going on in the stories. And Sherlock Holmes was doing most of it.…
"I was well aware that the fiend was not dead, but sleeping" [MISS]
Sherlock Holmes infamously used cocaine. Indeed, his habit was such that Dr. Watson, both as a friend and a medical man, was concerned for his health. But addictions in the Canon go beyond that. In this month's "Mr. Sherlock H…
"I keep a bull pup" [STUD] Among all of the Canonical canines we run into — the spectral Hound, the inveterate Toby, both Carlos, the irascible and protective Roy — there is one that escapes our attention. We of course refer to Watson's bull pup. But maybe there's a reason for that. Maybe — just …
"services which may perhaps some day be described" [3GAR] In "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs," we're famously told that "Holmes refused a knighthood". Watson beguilingly only referred to it in passing, and we have no further information on the topic. Peter Calamai, BSI ("The Leeds Mercury")…
"Would that annoy you?" [STUD] Sherlock Holmes was not always the most patient of men. Then again there were others who had no capacity for tolerating delays, incompetence, or simple interruptions. There are all manners of annoyances in the Sherlock Holmes stories and all kinds of people to annoy…
"A thousand pounds! Great Lord of mercy!" [BLUE] One thousand pounds sounds like a lot of money — now and in Sherlock Holmes's time. How much would £1000 in 1895 be worth today? In which stories do we find a mention of "a thousand pounds"? And what is going on around each of those sums? Answers t…
"departed to my rooms with a goodly volume under my arm" [ILLU] In this month's "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist" episode, it's a matter of a listener-suggested topic. After our Trifling Trifles look at Lomax the sub-librarian, Maxine Reneker wrote to us with an idea. In 2020, Maxine teamed up w…
"a little wisp of pink" [STUD] The Sherlock Holmes stories are filled with colors, from the stories with colors in the titles to the rich scenic details in each. What a great opportunity to explore the rainbow! We take this opportunity to explore the context of the color pink across the Canon. We…
