My cat Thea Dora was under the bed for three hours and wouldn't come out for anything. I was worried she was ill because I gave all signals it was bedtime, and she always sleeps with me. I got in bed and put on one of your Sherlock Holmes recordings, which helps me relax before falling asleep. As soon as your reading started, she jumped on the bed and stretched out between my legs. She loves falling asleep to your voice too.

I cannot tell you how I wish there were many, many more Sherlock Holmes stories. I have been a fan of this genre since I was a child and I am in my 8th decade now. If someone were to undertake to do this, following the previous style and format of course, I predict it would get a very good response. Audio recordings would be just fine but if some of them should be filmed that would be even better. The Jeremy Brett series was cut short before it was completed and evidently no one has picked up on the remaining several stories that were not filmed before his death. I strongly suspect there is a market for more stories.

“London has become a singularly uninteresting city since the death of the late lamented Professor Moriarty.” It’s interesting that Moriarty is the only criminal in the Canon that Holmes is nostalgic for, (apart from Irene Adler) He also mentioned Moriarty in The Last Bow some years after Holmes had retired.

I love listenening to Sherlock stories and have been in awe of ACD's story telling capabilities since being a youngster. However the more I hear/read, the more flaws in the stories become apparent. Yes, I know it is only fiction but it has to be consistent. For instance, in this case, Mr. Oldacre removes his title deeds to his hidey hole but leaves an incriminating bank book behind, which no-one would have known of its existence. It does not spoil the enjoyment of this remarkable story.

If Watson sold his practice and moved back in with Holmes, what happened to Mary? I discovered these stories a couple months back, the first one suggested to me was like 36 or something, then once I realized they were chronological I started at the beginning, then took a pause when "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of Four" were referenced and did those, the latter of which is the only time I've heard Mary's name mentioned or anything about her. All these numbered stories, thus far, just refer to her in passing as the wife, and Watson sometimes seems to just peace out for days at a time seemingly without letting her know. Anyone more familiar with the series able to shed some light? As a note, I fell asleep (my intention every time) part way through this last night, so going to listen again tonight.

Apparently when ACD returned to writing Holmes stories for the $$$ and popular demand, he swiftly killed off Watson's wife and had him move back in with Holmes so that the public could have the familiar formula of the stories again?? But I agree it's crazy plot wise, and very odd behavior for two grown men far past the years of their penniless youth as college students needing to share rooms! By this time Holmes is very successful, and Watson has his own medical practice. But we are to believe that him dropping his medical practice, him giving up being a doctor, and moving back in with Holmes just because Holmes asked... to do nothing but follow Holmes around and to have no income of his own, is.... uhh...perfectly normal? And then to be told that the whole time Holmes was tricking Watson by buying the practice himself through a third party, just so Watson would be sure to move back in and live with him as quickly as possible.... I donno.... does that sound normal between two grown men who are just "good pals"? The character of Watson is like a long-suffering secret girlfriend to Holmes, the man with all the high status, money, fame and reputation. Re-listening to the stories at an older age than when I first heard them, I can understand now why so many people have wondered if these characters were gay, since they lived together very intimately, Watson married briefly with no children and Holmes never married at all, and frequently spoke of how much he disliked women. In the stories Watson is frequently very willing to risk dying for Holmes, and Holmes is willing to kill for Watson. Throughout the stories their interactions seem far more intimate than just good friends, for example when Watson gets shot, and Holmes is unnerved, then Watson says that "it was worth (a bullet) wound, it was worth many (bullet) wounds, to know the depth of love and loyalty (Holmes) felt for me...." Hmmm.... who says that about "just-a-friend"?

Conan Doyle used the powers of Holmes minute observation to prove the bloodstain had been made during his clients incarceration. He could also have used the fact that the stain was too fresh to have been made after his arrest thus provilng it was not made in person, still it does add to Sherlock's reutation for his minute powers of observation.

The opening to this story is crazy!!! I know it's a controversial topic among Holmes fans, but isn't it rather odd behavior for two grown men far past the years of their penniless youth as college students needing to share rooms to volunteer for that arrangement, with the same special "friend" for decades of their life? I mean, by this time in the stories, Holmes is very successful, and Watson has his own medical practice. But we are to believe that Watson dropping his medical practice, and giving up being a doctor after all the work it took to become one, and moving back in with Holmes just because Holmes asked... to do nothing but follow Holmes around and to have no income of his own, is.... uhh...perfectly normal? And then to be told that the whole time Holmes was tricking Watson by buying the practice himself through a third party, just so Watson would be sure to move back in and live with him as quickly as possible.... I donno.... does that sound normal between two grown men who are just "good pals"? I am open to hearing other explanations, because I used to rationalize this sort of thing by thinking it must have been more common during the Victorian era or something... or maybe when ACD returned to writing Holmes stories for the $$$ and popular demand, he swiftly killed off Watson's wife and had him move back in with Holmes so that the public could have the familiar formula of the stories again?? But an intimate relationship seems the more clear and obvious explanation to all the strange behaviors over the entire canon. I can understand now why so many people have wondered if these characters were gay, since they lived together very intimately, Watson married briefly (a few times) with no children and Holmes never married at all, and frequently spoke of how much he disliked women. In the stories Watson is frequently very willing to risk dying for Holmes, and Holmes is willing to kill for Watson. They go to the baths together for fun (a safe space for gay men), and there seem to be no personal/physical boundaries between them. Throughout the stories their interactions seem far more intimate than just good friends, for example when Watson gets shot, and Holmes is unnerved, then Watson says in relating the story that "it was worth (a bullet) wound, it was worth many (bullet) wounds, to know the depth of love and loyalty (Holmes) felt for me" ...call me crazy, but who says that about "just-a-friend"? That's some next-level romantic obsession... Meanwhile, Sherlock refers to Watson getting married as "his only selfish act in our long association"... seriously Sherlock? Talk about posessive! Maybe the whole thing is not a romance, but Stockholm syndrome. Ha. But of course, like all of Watsons marriages it didn't work out and the wife soon disappeared... Hmmmm! Almost like no wife could ever measure up to how Watson feels about Sherlock and that's the most important relationship in his life or something.... Re-listenilng to the stories at an older age than when I first heard them, the character of Watson seems more like a long-suffering secret girlfriend to Holmes, the one who has all the high status, money, fame and reputation. From the perspective of 2023, I'm more shocked at how toxic and unballanced the relationship is, as Watson suffers being the puppet of, or the adoring-fan-boy of a narcissistic Holmes. Holmes seems more interested in singing his own praises than all the harm, PTSD, and needless danger he causes his "friend". If you look for relationship red flags, I swear Holmes has them all... controlling, belittling, demeaning... poor Watson, he was a brave soldier and a good doctor, he deserved better than being reduced to Holmes lap dog... whether or not there was ever any actual sex involved, or just a lot of pining, and longing, and Victorian-era-self-repression.

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Far from seeking the unintentional inconsistencies out, if you immerse yourself in these wonderful stories and absorb their totally believable characterisations, the ACD oversights smack you right between the eyes (e.g The Speckled Band, another favourite of mine, has such a glaring quirk which is intrinsic to the story, I am surprised the original editor did not raise it with ACD) . When I came to the end of all ACD's Holmes stories and there were no new mysteries to grapple with, I felt as if I had lost a beloved friend. I must listen to this, the Norwood Builder, and other favourites, at least once a month. Thank you for the recording and wonderful delivery. NW

Wouldn't the thumbprint made by an impression in the seal be a mirror image of the actual thumb when pressed against the wall by the hatrack?

SPOILER: Unpleasant Holmes’ disinclination or hesitation to go on w the case for the simple reason of its being almost sure not to go his way. No consideration for the poor young man’s possible innocence... how he must be suffering at present. But that is Holmes, what Watson refers to as his “ability” (disability?) to completely separate his mind from his heart, is it not?

That's true but oversimplified, Holmes DOES show some emotional engagement in his cases sometimes. In The Five Orange Pips, he is very sorry that he let his client down. That's one of the early stories, Holmes becomes more detached with time. Might be because he's seen too much; might be because sir A.C. Doyle was less fond of him. And to be honest: law and criminology require an unemotional character. I'm a police interpreter and the policemen are nice but simply can't be emotionally involved in their cases, or they'd go crazy. I myself am required by law not to get emotionally involved in the investigations. Do you want a PI who will be sorry for you, or do you want a PI who will discover the facts and prove your innocence?

5:46 phrasing is unhelpful. Try “...what the errand is, on which I have come...” I’m very much enjoying these readings. Thank you.

I very much hope I'm misreading the meaning of your comment to one of the Sherlock Holmes narration videos. It appears to me that you are under the impression that the narrator is the author and are doling out advice a better way to word a sentence. Please let me be mistaken! If not, then you either expect a narrator to change the wording of a story published a century ago so YOU alone may understand better, or you actually think Sir Conan Doyle is still alive and uploading to KZbin...then there could be that you have no idea that Holmes existed before the movie and TV series and believe this video to be a fanfiction reading. Please don't let any of those things be true!

So Many Humans, So Little Common Sense my advice to the outstanding narrator is simply a matter of the placement of a pause. His rendering “...what the errand is on, which I have come...” attracts my suggestion that the pause is better one word earlier: “...what the errand is, on which I have come” I offered it honestly, and Mr Wagland’s response “cheers” seems to suggest he accepted it, at least as well-intentioned. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Uncle Boom I said “phrasing” because my suggestion is simply a matter of a pause to separate the phrases. I’m happy to be corrected if “emphasis” is the better word. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
