The book consists of a facsimile manuscript of the speech, together with other letters and documents, essays, and commentary from a variety of Sherlockians.</p><p>Along the way, a mystery is solved and we have the added pleasure of the writing of Cathy Miranker, Glen's wife and co-conspirator in this and the traveling exhibition of 221 objects from his collection.</p><p>Also, we have Sherlockian news, Madeline Quinones' segment "A Chance of Listening," and another <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a piece of Sherlockiana from our vaults, Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by August 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

It's not that he was employing black magic or supernatural powers; he simply was skilled beyond the means of common folk of his time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Their shock and surprise were evident, as they expressed their astonishment by comparing him to wizard. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Inspector Stanley Hopkins expressed belief that Holmes was a wizard, adding,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“I really do sometimes think that you have powers that are not human.” [ABBE]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When the Right Honorable Trelawney Hope discovered the lost document thanks to Holmes, he declared him “a wizard, a sorcerer!” [SECO]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">James Dodd expressed surprise with Holmes's deductions: “Mr. Holmes, you are a wizard.” [BLAN]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And Watson himself exclaimed “Holmes, you are a wizard,” when Holmes mentioned grey-tinted glasses. [RETI]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But there were other realizations of Holmes's powers that didn't go quite as far as calling him a wizard. Mary Holder said, “Why, you are like a magician,” [BERY] and Mrs. Ferguson admitted that Holmes “seems to have powers of magic.”</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As any good magician knows, part of the secret is keeping people in disbelief. When the veil was lifted by Holmes explaining how he deduced Jabez Wilson's background, Wilson blurted out: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Well, I never! I thought at first that you had done something clever, but I see that there was nothing in it, after all.” [REDH]</div></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Leading Holmes to acknowledge “that I make a mistake in explaining. ‘<i>Omne ignotum pro magnifico</i>,’ you know.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now let's see what magical experiences the boys are having 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/AVvXsEj6fWYCnA8OrChdIGJlRzTcplq70g0AYqkU6bnUr2O8duT_-kdXIsFMsAccQbdk0t1PK7UOrsh5gWMuuvmlSpnTDbosTkhyKtCChHVbPslo-RKlBICIm51jJNK0Pqh-TArl9hLsuO3-BQWNlxQnZ5UNanny90NxbPIrBk3IVeCDrlDY_yutc9PHLemRzZP2/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.2.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/AVvXsEj6fWYCnA8OrChdIGJlRzTcplq70g0AYqkU6bnUr2O8duT_-kdXIsFMsAccQbdk0t1PK7UOrsh5gWMuuvmlSpnTDbosTkhyKtCChHVbPslo-RKlBICIm51jJNK0Pqh-TArl9hLsuO3-BQWNlxQnZ5UNanny90NxbPIrBk3IVeCDrlDY_yutc9PHLemRzZP2/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.2.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitV8weHRDmisOrC74WhN69vsXmvqnBtnIogSWT4l2iiFQY2b6SKEZpdnKw6e4BAAf0nRLCKDUWmefbsQHS6zx9tTrTMWkBvraW3pBVLQjspuqWAyLogYG-vhNEEfqO6wOqb2df1fgloyA5MU-UtBpT28aJU-TWu-RBSEGiB8u5hubCJG1MZpY91lqPujl6/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.3.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/AVvXsEitV8weHRDmisOrC74WhN69vsXmvqnBtnIogSWT4l2iiFQY2b6SKEZpdnKw6e4BAAf0nRLCKDUWmefbsQHS6zx9tTrTMWkBvraW3pBVLQjspuqWAyLogYG-vhNEEfqO6wOqb2df1fgloyA5MU-UtBpT28aJU-TWu-RBSEGiB8u5hubCJG1MZpY91lqPujl6/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.3.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH5oGyF73CIpJDGpaYEaK5cP03MybFEIriM3aW6WW-6WKcsg08NbWL9sefJRk5HwTP3S7NbE16O9yxHaQUb022XeLBYu64s9259CCs-F4B5RjxNFygjhwVZdzo5BgsPqrIwsaEIWnghzNwqoCMHIZ87griUGDkK64WlvH1BhDXhUy6zOdlOgkdN-F3zKl-/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.4.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/AVvXsEhH5oGyF73CIpJDGpaYEaK5cP03MybFEIriM3aW6WW-6WKcsg08NbWL9sefJRk5HwTP3S7NbE16O9yxHaQUb022XeLBYu64s9259CCs-F4B5RjxNFygjhwVZdzo5BgsPqrIwsaEIWnghzNwqoCMHIZ87griUGDkK64WlvH1BhDXhUy6zOdlOgkdN-F3zKl-/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.4.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibWEgp1Mqc2RhL0x-aLABvgxju2m8FPzahyGWgbdBHu5p1PC7Uktfd5HEUrScstq5_Dv0jFgtuxZgwqWmqZgurckDgVECWW0WJUqngyVtaahPsuHh-1N9Zucm1qSo2Cp6f8oijhvY2JEjWlXcoeIXe2ZHELJr45tbyxjDQeq-peUTqiRCdjqFakFMNkvVv/s480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.5.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/AVvXsEibWEgp1Mqc2RhL0x-aLABvgxju2m8FPzahyGWgbdBHu5p1PC7Uktfd5HEUrScstq5_Dv0jFgtuxZgwqWmqZgurckDgVECWW0WJUqngyVtaahPsuHh-1N9Zucm1qSo2Cp6f8oijhvY2JEjWlXcoeIXe2ZHELJr45tbyxjDQeq-peUTqiRCdjqFakFMNkvVv/s16000/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20182.5.JPG" /></a></div><br /><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.

In this novel, two video podcasters have journeyed to the lake to document their attempt to raise the head of the prop, but they've disappeared. </p><p><a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2016/04/long-lost-prop-from-private-life-of.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Related: Long Lost Prop from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes Found</a></p><p>The supporting cast involved in this mystery includes an incompetent local police officer, an incredibly eccentric local lord who's hunting the monster himself, his daughter who runs the estate's conference center, the waiter at the hotel restaurant who hates his customers and isn't afraid to show it, and three authors: a Texan who writes action thrillers starring Ted Testosterone, a TV show parodist, and someone who writes creepy erotic noir. </p><p>Author Chris Chan tells a brisk story, perhaps a little over-seasoned with random bits of trivia, but I enjoyed learning about weird Scottish dishes, for example, and I don't mind dense writing. As with many other modern authors, it's unfortunate that his characters all sound much the same, with the same vocabularies and voices on the page; it's the plotting that's his strength. I stayed curious about finding out what would happen next throughout the 215-page story, and I admired how all the different strands wove together.  </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3Lpg4IV" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="826" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipY2ZrGNwoseHUHnUdfquii1yrX18-kD6lZkbyTHba8StEErnjo4W7mBdYEvD-29Rwty_LgiODg1j26A1_3sF7aTxorTpIX-4Igev35skv3UueRHFq7GORS-UdKLmC9lkX0sLqmpT_IZMztD_nSMauwFgccG2oz6JbkgctI_k4UwI8iZOD1oi2LCvyXbwp/s320/Nessies%20Nemesis.jpg" width="194" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3Lpg4IV" target="_blank">Nessie's Nemesis</a></i> by Chris Chan, published by <a href="https://mxpublishing.com" target="_blank">MX Publishing</a>, September 2023, is available in hardcover, paperback, audio, and Kindle format <a href="https://amzn.to/3Lpg4IV" target="_blank">on Amazon</a>.</p><p><br /></p>

Smith</a>, we thought we'd continue with another. This time, it's James Montgomery, BSI ("The Red Circle"), who was a frequent correspondent with Smith.</p><p>Montgomery played an important role in the development of the <i><a href="https://ihose.co/BSJ" target="_blank">Baker Street Journal</a> </i> — a role whose effects are still felt until this day. His tenor voice graced many dinners of the Baker Street Irregulars and other Sherlock Holmes societies, and his scholarship still stands strong today.</p><p>In addition to the audio clips of Montgomery, we have Sherlockian news, listener comments, Madeline Quinones' segment "A Chance of Listening," and of course the <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a piece of Sherlockiana from our vaults, Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by July 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

It gave him the opportunity to do what he did best: think. Thinking was at the core of his profession, and when he added his energetic footwork and investigation to it, Sherlock Holmes was quite formidable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Remember in "The Greek Interpreter" how he delineated the difference between himself and his brother Mycroft:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“If the art of the detective began and ended in reasoning from an arm-chair, my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived.”</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He clearly had respect for his brother's thinking abilities. He used quiet time to work things out many times himself:</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“He sank back into the state of intense and silent thought.” [NAVA]</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Holmes had listened to his story with the utmost attention, and now he sat for some time in silent thought.” [DANC]</div></blockquote><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Holmes sat for some time in silent thought.” [SHOS]</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Let us reconstruct, Watson,” said Holmes after half an hour of silence. [BRUC]</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Holmes valued quiet time.
