Sherlock Holmes: Trifles

"a bit of professional business between two gentlemen" [3GAR]   In this month's Mr. Sherlock Holmes the theorist, we turn again to a bit of British scholarship from the 1950s.     James Edward Holroyd's chapter "Dr. Watson and Mr. Wilde" in Baker Street By-Ways does an exemplary job of comparing the timelines of the great detective and the great wit, who each had a connection to a certain dinner with J.M. Stoddart of Lippincott's. It's just a Trifle.     If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift.   There's a new "Trifling Trifles" episode out — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode.
