Baker Street Elementary – Motherly Love

2026/03/08

“by the honour of your mother” [SIGN]Because of traditional gender roles (and inheritance and property laws) fathers typically commanded the households in the Sherlock Holmes stories — we're looking at you, Grimesby Roylott and Jephro Rucastle.But here and there, we find mothers who stepped up and took charge. Or at least made their wishes clearly known.Mrs. Ferguson let Mrs. Mason know what was going on, in order that her baby would be under watchful eyes ("The Sussex Vampire")Mrs. St. Claire took

2026/02/28

“Only one word of epilogue” [DANC]Today we're joined by Bob Katz, BSI, the founder of The Epilogues of Sherlock Holmes, a scion society that spent over three decades exploring the world of 221B Baker Street. Bob named the group after the subhead of "His Last Bow," observing that an epilogue, after all, is something that follows — and for thirty years, the group followed the Great Detective through meetings dedicated to friendship and story discussions.All of their meetings were held in the resonant

“Why, it might be a description of Watson!” [CHAS]Over the years, we have had a parade of actors who have done their best to inhabit the persona of the Canon's main character and narrator, Dr. John H. Watson. Some tiptoe around the scenes like polite visitors at 221B Baker Street — competent, forgettable, grateful for the tea.And then there are those who settle into the basket chair beside the fireplace, and become not only Sherlock Holmes's biographer, but his friend and custodian as well.Today we

“I got them at six hundred” [BERY]As we celebrate the 600th strip of Baker Street Elementary (you haven't seen all 600 here — for that you need to visit the Baker Street Elementary website), a little numerology is in order.The number 600 has significant associations dating back to ancient times. In the bible, the number 600 often signified strength and unity: Noah was 600 when he boarded the ark; Moses and the Israelites were pursued by 600 Egyptian chariots. Ancient armies organized in groups of

Baker Street Elementary – A Glancing Blow

2026/02/01

“In glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases” [SPEC]The "you see but you do not observe" crowd loves a good demonstration of Sherlock Holmes's abilities.What makes his skills particularly impressive is how he makes mental calculations and draws conclusions in an instant. We certainly know that famous introductory scene, where Holmes casually remarks "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive," after shaking Watson's hand.From that impressive first meeting, Watson gave us "the list" in A Study

Happy 172nd Birthday, Sherlock Holmes!

2026/01/06

“your celebrated friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes” [NAVA]Today is January 6th — and that marks the date on which we traditionally celebrate Sherlock Holmes's birthday.We say "traditionally," because there is no definitive statement of his actual date of birth in the Canon, but beginning withChristopher Morley, the date of January 6th has become the de facto accepted date for Holmes' birthday. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons.Of all of the quotes in the Canon, William Shakespeare was the most

2026/01/04

“full of energy and resolution” [GLOR]January 1st always begins with hope for the New Year: a clean slate is offered up, and it is ours on which to write our intentions for the year. These often take the form of resolutions.It has been long posited that Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson met on New Year's Day, 1881, as told in A Study in Scarlet. While there are no dates mentioned in the text, there are clues that lead us to believe this may be the case:Watson runs into an old friend Stamford at the

Episode 325: The Unexpurgated Sherlock Holmes

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere ·

2025/12/30

“Holmes took it with admirable good-humour” [PRIO]For years, Holmes and Watson have served as a blueprint for an "odd couple" dynamic, usually by poking fun at the detective’s ego, and the doctor’s struggle to keep up. Humor can humanize these literary giants, making them feel less like statues and more like friends.Now Nicholas Sercombe’s The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series goes down this path, suggesting Watson’s reports were just too risque for the morals of Victorian England

“Puerile as such an exercise may seem” [STUD]In "The Yellow Face," Watson tells us "Sherlock Holmes a man who seldom took exercise for exercise’s sake," yet we know he had some athletic pursuits. More on that in a moment.But first: what do we know about the exercise habits of others in the Canon?There were some clients or minor characters who regularly took exercise. Among them:Violet Smith was an ardent cyclist: "Yes, I bicycle a good deal, Mr. Holmes." [SOLI]Fitzroy McPherson was a swimmer:

[BLUE]While there is no mention of Christmas caroling in "The Blue Carbuncle," a close reading of A Study in Scarlet finds some surprising singing happening in a rather unusual location:"Leaning back in the cab, this amateur bloodhound carolled away like a lark while I meditated upon the
