I also like Jeremy Brett, but this tops it. <br />The stories you name I have read a long time ago - though I am not sure if I read them all - so I have a fine list for long autumn evenings, thank you!

I particularly like the way Watson alludes to stories that he never wrote up - like the Politician, the Lighthouse-keeper and the Trained Cormorant, or the Giant Rat of Sumatra, or the colossal schemes of the Baron Maupartis or -my favourite- The Singular Affair of the Aluminium Crutch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-54736069103538018892014-08-23T21:00:16.579+01:002014-08-23T21:00:16.579+01:00Dear Geo.,

A calling that I admire.

I do remember selling our property's roadside drainage ditch to the county to finance her stay. The next year, she studied theatre design at Meyerhold's Apartment in Moscow, and the ditch proceeds still helped. I love how selling ditches can advance cultural and artistic pursuits. Daughter is based in Chicago now and makes a good living in costume design. A most energetic and admirable generation.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-13423945545718547872014-08-22T15:53:24.595+01:002014-08-22T15:53:24.595+01:00Dear Susan,

As a real scientist you examine and look/hear for yourself, and don't believe hearsay - that's what I appreciate. <br />Sherlock (especially the first episodes) are really intriguing, and, as you wrote, very complex. So fast and modern - I love them. <br />Was your daughter for a longer time in Prague? Such a beautiful city. <br />And your estimate of the moan is so enjoyable - its in a way elegant, that's why I wanted it for SMS (not as ringtone). <br />PS: Will send further comments from Berlin, not Bohemia :) Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-26130842113021796282014-08-22T13:29:19.950+01:002014-08-22T13:29:19.950+01:00Oh, that is hilarious!

More complex than the original "A Scandal In Bohemia" --10 years ago we sent Daughter to school in Prague and warned her to avoid the golem-- but clearly a mystery of merit. And the ring-tone was a delightful and sensuous sigh, yes a modest moan that must delight those who overhear it more than alarm them. Fun production!
