Holmes has the first crack at it, followed by Hercule Poirot decades later. </p><p>Appropriately enough, it is called <i>Holmes Poirot</i>. And it premieres in St. Paul, Minnesota in October 2024.</p><p>Hatcher is known to Sherlockians for his screenplay for <i>Mr. Holmes</i> as well as two other Sherlockian plays. Hendrickson has played Sherlock Holmes on stage numerous times before with Bob Davis as his Watson. The two of them swap roles in the second act of this play, with Hendrickson assuming the role of Captain Hastings and Davis as Poirot.</p><p>We talk with Jeff and Steve about their experience creating this innovative new play, about their early starts with Sherlock Holmes, and much more. </p><p>We have the latest podcast entries in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and another <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a surprise item from the IHOSE Vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by September 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

Sherlock Holmes didn't spend much time on those topics either, aside from representing the government in a handful of cases, handling a case for the pope, having a rusty memory of the Old Testament, and one well-known reverie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But there was one story in which Sherlock Holmes dealt with both politics <b><i>and</i></b> religion.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In "The Naval Treaty," Holmes was engaged by Percy Phelps, who had a position at the Foreign Office, thanks to his uncle, Lord Holdhurst. On Phelps's watch, a treaty between England and Italy that defined the Triple Alliance, went missing. While it was a matter of personal and professional interest to Phelps, there were political implications if the treaty were put on the open market. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In that very same story one of the most beautiful passages in the Canon has Sherlock Holmes contemplating a rose and the creator:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion,” said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. “Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say gain that we have much to hope from the flowers.”</div></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Is it any coincidence that we find religion being contemplated in the same story as politics?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Let's see how they handle it at Baker Street Elementary...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJE7GUavqmRqyFPRAiEjRmtrlw96ivAwYoMu8VjtDRhKat9ra3oGUKKfxuanuwIyQPURnENWcLXrpKSTyfDrDNQPoL4r_DN6LUUQ4Bt8RE33u2f_q3g59hBS8hRLIROSsW-acLCs6Ei8JHf94mmaYpelgJ1Tm59Dhlk7N9l1V_k-zbbmf7Bn7POt7s-p3G/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20186.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJE7GUavqmRqyFPRAiEjRmtrlw96ivAwYoMu8VjtDRhKat9ra3oGUKKfxuanuwIyQPURnENWcLXrpKSTyfDrDNQPoL4r_DN6LUUQ4Bt8RE33u2f_q3g59hBS8hRLIROSsW-acLCs6Ei8JHf94mmaYpelgJ1Tm59Dhlk7N9l1V_k-zbbmf7Bn7POt7s-p3G/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20186.2.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9e5w9pK0vr9dnAMcSR3KrqwHN2xkVujZMAeh7tOZcOez-AeEj7UZar8FHLbAoi8u73v5NT9oNqsCxpEZbRMdt0JxRyk22QQbeoadmPCL2RtfJs4mxmI1Cs_7TIidv8Kyee8Z5_5SkXnYDqEBAcA-qOt0JkGbbQ70O0PVyLkl7ZvLLd2DizgwpAbYYLJSm/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20186.3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9e5w9pK0vr9dnAMcSR3KrqwHN2xkVujZMAeh7tOZcOez-AeEj7UZar8FHLbAoi8u73v5NT9oNqsCxpEZbRMdt0JxRyk22QQbeoadmPCL2RtfJs4mxmI1Cs_7TIidv8Kyee8Z5_5SkXnYDqEBAcA-qOt0JkGbbQ70O0PVyLkl7ZvLLd2DizgwpAbYYLJSm/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20186.3.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkNZGbJ_nBW6sLbXBxcCIB3lHfevOlfvwFdxQU4LgaLxAY2-ySeQ1rMZ7X8wB2XjLSs__F0RUS94PhO-kmLDnv1y9q-ot6F7Z6Cu9cqEl1pKZZqrf0fPlUAbe_iBxPYonHd_lrGADxy0eJ-N_d_KU5eFXZXTl4z0pZO-VGJftbqXw6sjTaEzv_o7SOuXF/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20186.4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkNZGbJ_nBW6sLbXBxcCIB3lHfevOlfvwFdxQU4LgaLxAY2-ySeQ1rMZ7X8wB2XjLSs__F0RUS94PhO-kmLDnv1y9q-ot6F7Z6Cu9cqEl1pKZZqrf0fPlUAbe_iBxPYonHd_lrGADxy0eJ-N_d_KU5eFXZXTl4z0pZO-VGJftbqXw6sjTaEzv_o7SOuXF/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20186.4.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> follows the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, as they and their friends work through the issues of elementary school in Victorian London.
