6 The Man with the Twisted Lip from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892) Audiobook

[@am91101]

Mr Greg sir, have you been honored or recognized by any Sherlock Holmes or ACD heritage society for your good work? You deserve to be knighted for keeping Sherlock Holmes alive for all of us fans. I would love to meet you some day.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Lots of recognition by people on here so that’s good enough for me!

[@bigpete4227]

I listen to these whilst working in my workshop, a welcome break from the doom and gloom of 24/7 news.

[@Jennythecatgirl]

I’m doing that right now 😊

[@ArizonaJoeHines]

This is the story in which Watson's wife refers to him as "James". People who delve into these stories ( i.e. The Baker Street Irregulars) try to reconcile such seeming discrepancies. The Holmes stories are not called "The Canon" for nothing. The explanation that I read somewhere is is that since Dr. Watson's name is John H. Watson, his middle name must be "Hamish", which, of course is Celtic for James. Thank you for this excellent reading.

[@Graycata]

I feel like thats a bit of a stretch. But it's better than nothing. Makes it sound like some sort of an inside joke between the two of them

[@iamjohnlocked2532]

Oh, thats so cool. That must have been where it came from in bbc version.

[@GCKMimi]

Hullo, member of the Illustrious Clients here (scion society in the Midwest). I actually think this is a good explanation to consider. Besides Conan Doyle frankly not giving a damn about his Holmes stories (I personally think he forgot what called Watson for a bit), those who play The Game (taking the view Holmes was a historic figure) like to find these inconsistencies and think of what they mean.

As with tinnin fran, I am old with failing eyesight, and Greg Wagland is my favourite Reader. At 73 I spend my 'golden years' as a shut-in looking at my worthless bookshelves yet gladly have a blessing of great British ghost stories and Sherlock Holmes books, I much rather hear books than Hollywood movies, or even English movies of Sherlock, I have the ability to in my Mind see and follow the Books in my personal 'Picture Show of my Mind." I see the fields and streams in full colour, and henceforth I despised Television since 1963 when as a child of 13 watching TV I seen my Hero, John F. Kennedy murdered. I was traumatized and became a Radio Amateur Operator, and I still am, licensed by FCC as a Technician Class 'Ham" operator. My senior housing will not allow Antennas however I can 'listen VIA A WebSDR which is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet. I often listen to Famous Ham Radio Operators - Oxley Region Amateur Radio Club

[@deniseajddhjjjdjd3066]

I was seven and living in Washington, DC when Kennedy was shot. The world stopped. It's the only time I ever saw my mother cry.

[@KiKiabout]

Love... Thank you!

[@jasonmatthews7829]

I had a friend in the Navy who's daughter paid for her PhD by panhandling for a year outside casinos on the Las Vegas strip. She went into social services, having a unique perspective in homelessness, and used her experience for her thesis. In the age of social media starlets wanting some sort of patronage for talking on the internet, Victorian-ers begging scams seem both utilitarian, useful, and of impressive durability. Doyle was nothing if not extremely insightful into human nature.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Good question!

[@paulorth2251]

In the TV adaption, starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes, Holmes ends the scene by saying "all is known now" hinting that his wife was told. Finally while burning the Hugh Boon's clothing, his wife comes and hugs him. Probably artistic license.

[@lolagabrielle2671]

Good evening everyone, some months ago, I wrote a comment asking help to find a story, I got some answers but no one can identify it, so I decided to listen to all the stories in order to find it. Here I am, 6 months later and I did not find it!!! I am truly starting to think that I dream this and it doesnt actually exist!!! It starts describing a very cold and foggy day, sherlock its at the basement making a lot of noise and watson is reading something, then at dinner sherlock tells watson something about a very important experiment (something about bullets being fired, i think) and tells him that if he wants to know about this he must promise to stay at home and not talk to anyone, watson accepts this and sherlock goes back to the basement; then in the middle of the nigth a friend of watson arrives at the house and ask him to receive him. Thats the part where I always felt asleep. If anyone can help me with this I will be forever grateful!!! I am sure that im not creative enough to dream the story by myself but I listened to all the stories here, even the pastiches and I CAN NOT FOUND IT, maybe I dont remember correctly or I dont know... help please!!

[@Montyjones680]

Oh my god you’re not going mad I know exactly the one you’re talking about ! I always found that one so creepy , I’ll try to remember the name !

[@weremuppet7625]

I know that there's nothing dirty and that it's just words that have changed meaning alot since it was written but I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the phrase "a sudden ejaculation woke me up" followed by "the amount of shag I saw last night"... in todays society, it might be taken a bit different from what it's meant to convey :P

[@abraxasnl]

@@milkknife To clarify (sorry if this seems pedantic), we don’t know if Hamish is Watson’s middle name. Dorothy L. Sayers proposed this theory, but Doyle has never written more than “H.” It is equally (maybe more?) likely that Doyle screwed up. It wouldn’t be the first time. In A Scandal in Bohemia he seems to refer to mrs. Hudson as mrs. Turner.
