Sherlock Holmes: Trifles

• Who Wrote the American Chapters of A Study in Scarlet?

  "Nine to seven." "Seven to five." [STUD]    For anyone who has first experienced Sherlock Holmes through A Study in Scarlet, Chapter VIII is a shock to the system, placing us squarely in the Great Akalai Plain with John and Lucy Ferrier, and narrated by... who?   Ben Vizoskie had that same question in the 2000 BSJ article "Who Wrote the American Chapters of A Study in Scarlet?" which was awarded the Morley-Montgomery Award that year. Many scholars have pondered this over the years, but Ben seems to have cracked the code. And it's no Trifle.    If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].

• Calling Cards

  "He sent in his card with a message" [CROO]    In our own digital age, business cards are nearly artifacts of the past. And calling cards? They're so outdated we had to create this episode.   Numerous individuals in the Sherlock Holmes stories present their cards to Sherlock Holmes and Holmes presents his card to a few people as well. What's the history behind calling cards and visiting cards and how did they play into the stories? It's just a Trifle.    We have bonus content for our supporters: images of Victorian calling cards that might surprise you. If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].

• Angels of Darkness

  "upon the track of the avenging angels" [STUD]  The Apocrypha of Sherlock Holmes series continues with a three-act play that wasn't published until over a century after it was written by Arthur Conan Doyle.   The story of its discovery and dating is even more interesting than the play itself, which is reminiscent of the American chapters of A Study in Scarlet and is...

• A Most Valuable Institution

  "all the main ones in the press reports" [THOR]  Sherlock Holmes knew how to use newspapers to his advantage. Time and again, we see him scanning the agony column and making clippings.   He told Watson "The press is a most valuable institution if only one knows how to use it." Just how did he use it and in which cases? It's just a Trifle.    If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].

• Lucky Thirteen

  "thirteen in number" [HOUN]  Ask the average citizen about the number thirteen, and it is likely to inspire terror, or at least some slight trepidation. Right up there with black cats and overturned saltshakers, the number thirteen has a long history associated with bad luck.   But what about in the Sherlock Holmes stories? Where does the number thirteen pop up and what can we infer from it? It's just a Trifle.    If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].
