    Untangling the Skein
    Jul 16 2025

    “another thread which I have extricated out of the tangled skein” [HOUN]

    It has long been accepted that the original title of A Study in Scarlet was meant to be A Tangled Skein. While there is no surviving manuscript of the first Sherlock Holmes story, a single page of notes has long served as Sherlock Holmes's "birth certificate."

    However, Matt Hall discovered a letter in Sydney, Australia that proves otherwise. His research is presented in Vol. 37 No. 2 of The Sherlock Holmes Journal. And it's much more than just a Trifle.

    “put £100 down in front of him” [BLUE]

    Humans are suckers for round numbers. And 100 seems like a perfectly reasonable one to settle on. It's the first three-digit number (in Arabic numbers, that is; Romans were happy to hit a C note).

    When it comes to £100 in the Sherlock Holmes stories, it's a figure often associated with some sort of scam — enough to get attention and secure the trust of the mark. Which stories feature £100 and what were the circumstances? It's just a Trifle.

    “I had painted” [TWIS]

    The Morley-Montgomery Award-winning article we're discussing this month is by H.C. Potter from Vol. 26, No. 2 of The Baker Street Journal.

    In it, Potter looks at Watson's prosaic way of setting the scene for us. He selects excerpts from a number of stories to prove his case. Was he successful in backing up his claims? 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

This podcast is spectacular. Scott and Burt have great camaraderie, and their appreciation for the Sherlockian world is evident. If you're looking for a spectacular podcast, this, along with their "I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere," podcast is a fantastic show.

Enlightening, Entertaining, and Educational
