The best ones are when Holmes does what is right rather than what is legal. Hear, hear!!!

[@ryskichelovek]

I know right =)

[@tetyanas4026]

Would he do the same if the lady were a poor commoner?

[@rosehagood3146]

​@@tetyanas4026He would if he thought her to be of good character

[@maryoleary5044]

Hopefully he would if a real gentleman. I believe Holmes is and would.

[@maryoleary5044]

As Dickens experienced the real horrors of poverty and lack of hope/even the chance of an education (in the blacking factory he was in) Dickens SAW WITH HIS OWN EYES the difference between the DESERVING POOR and the viscous child abusing/animal abusing UNDESERVING ABUSERS

I've been falling asleep to these lately. Good dreams. Good days to follow. The stories will live for ever.

I am recovering from vitrectomy surgery which means my head must be horizontal for most of the day. I came across your readings and one week later I am thoroughly in love with the SH stories and forever grateful for your reading. Thank you for helping me to recover without even knowing it !

@2:10 Poor Watson, his aesthetic judgement so often maligned by Holmes. I recommend sometime that before breakfast he substitute salt for sugar and sugar for salt. That way Holmes can eat his eggs with sugar and have salt in his tea.

I can't get my head around the beeswing. The glasses are described as two having clear wine and one having beeswing. How, then, were the dregs of the two poured into the one? How were the two even filled from that bottle, which was also full of beeswing?

[@michaelg548]

Consider for a moment the possibility that the most cold-hearted, calculating, and accomplished villain in the entire Sherlock Holmes canon is not Professor Moriarty, but rather an innocent-looking young Australian woman who, having decided to murder her husband for his money, first manipulates a kind-hearted but slow-witted sailor into doing the actual killing for her, next effortlessly induces him and her own maid to cover up all evidence of the crime, and finally, without so much as saying a word or lifting a finger, convinces Holmes not to turn her in to the police.

While I love the outcome of this story I cannot help but think that another great fictional detective, Hercules Poirot, would not/ could not be as magnanimous as Holmes in rendering judgment. Under no circumstances could he let a murderer off the hook.

Fairly irritating that the British pronounce the word shone so badly. It rhymes with own, mown, moan, flown, sewn, sown, grown, bone, hone, cone, lone, prone, tone, pone, drone, phone, zone, roan, etc. Yet they insist on pronouncing it "shawn." One has to stop and try to figure out what the hell they're saying, which isn't unusual.

Yes, it's a well known fact that human beings cannot reside together without having sex 🤭😉🤫😑 (I pray you never have children, sir. With that sort of thinking even a pet would be in danger living with you ) cheers!!

[@ginaharrison5560]

Surely not !! Good Grief, man, I am a heterosexual woman who, when I was young, shared a 700 square foot apartment while see both were going to the University, a handsome young, heterosexual man for 5 years (our Bachelors & 1st yrs of our Masters' degree) & he was my closest friend & we never crossed the line of a wonderful platonic relationship. Why does everything have to be about sex ?? There ARE other things that exist in this life & World ! But, you should dream on with your fantasy, if it gives you pleasure. Each to his own, Sir. 💫

[@tetyanas4026]

It was quite clear from the very beginning who was behind the murder. No mystery here. Boring and predictable.

[@SelLillianna]

I like this story. :) But that one needless, racist line in the middle of the murderer's story taints a lot of this adventure for me, unfortunately... By all other accounts I like this story and find the murderer to be a person with a great heart. I think that's why that line urks me so hard. If the abusive victim was saying racist things I wouldn't mind as he, after all, was framed in the wrong in this story. But since such a virtuous guy was saying it and it wasn't framed as wrong by anyone in the story, It's just... well, quite deeply upsetting.
