Trifles

In this issue of Trifles we have an essay about one person's journey from a casual interest in Sherlock Holmes to being Staff Surgeon of a scion of the Baker Street Irregulars, and a very useful piece explaining Baker Street finances and how to compare the value of British currency of the 19th century to U.S. dollars today. There is also a poem about Dr. Watson's drinking habits, a trivia quiz based on "The Five Orange Pips," and a new pastiche. One essay talks about Lestrade's bulldogishness and another tells us about Moriarty's appearance in Batman's universe. Another study takes us through the laws related to marriage and other family matters which would have applied to Holmes' cases. These are followed by a crossword puzzle and additional artwork as well as excerpts from other publications new and old.
