“they are pretty sure to ask questions anyhow, so it would be as well to have answers” [RETI]   We're doing something a little different for this episode. There are certain elements about the Sherlock Holmes stories that are just too trifling out of which to create an entire episode. So we turned to you. We're answering questions that you have submitted, hopefully providing more clarity than less. If this works well, we'll do it again. It's just a Trifle.  Have you left us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts yet?
