    Capital Punishment
    May 14 2025

    “You have done your best to get an innocent man hanged.” [NORW]

    Capital punishment in the United Kingdom evolved over a period of time. From the mid-17th century through 1820, the Bloody Code tracked some 200 crimes punishable by death.

    In which Sherlock Holmes stories do we hear about capital punishment, and under England's laws of the late Victorian period, who would have been eligible for death by hanging? It's just a Trifle.

  • The Solitary Man-Uscript

    The Solitary Man-Uscript
    May 7 2025

    “so ardent a bicyclist must be full of energy” [SOLI]

    The latest installment in our review of Morley-Montgomery Award-winning articles is by Andrew Jay Peck, BSI ("Inspector Baynes"): "The Solitary Man-Uscript" from Vol. 22, No. 2 of The Baker Street Journal in 1972.

    Just who was the Solitary Cyclist? There are two cyclists in the story, and one is a young lady simply trying to get to her train safely; the other is a bearded man with sunglasses hunched over his handlebars. Only one of them can be our cyclist. It's just a Trifle.

    An Aborted Avatar
    Apr 30 2025

    “a strange, loud whiz” [EMPT]

    We came across a quite unusual observation — a Trifle, if you will — in an old issue of The Baker Street Journal. An article by Antony Boucher called "An Aborted Avatar."

    Boucher discovered a turn of the century play called The King of Gee-Whiz that involved Sherlock Holmes in a quite unusual setting. The play was co-written by L. Frank Baum, of The Wizard of Oz fame. It's just a Trifle.

My favorite Sherlockian podcast. The world is a better place with Scott and Bert extolling the trifles of 1895 in Victorian England. A must listen podcast.

Excellent my dear Watson
