Conan Doyle's Undershaw May Be Destroyed

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"Possibly you have seen pictures and read descriptions of the famous old building" [MUSG]</h4>
 
In 1897 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made his home in Surrey, where his personally-designed house Undershaw was completed. It is while he lived there that he wrote The Return of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles. 
 
From 1924 to 2004, the 36-room house was a hotel, but now it is in danger of losing the charm and details that have been part of the home for over 100 years, as developers are considering destroying it to make way for three homes to be built on the site of the house, plus another on the grounds. The <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/07/06/nhomes06.xml" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">full article is available from the Telegraph</a>.

Some quotes: 
 
From John Gibson (of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0967750008/002-7132755-0695226?v=glance&n=283155" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Gibson & Green</a> fame): 
<blockquote>
"This was the only house that Conan Doyle had built for himself. To gut it will destroy the integrity of the important building and all its connections."</blockquote>
From Nick Utechin (editor of <a href="http://www.sherlock-holmes.org.uk/journal.php" style="color: #000066; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The Sherlock Holmes Journal</a>): 
<blockquote style="font-style: italic;">
"No thought appears to have been given to the incredible importance Conan Doyle has in popular literary culture. We are not saying the house needs to be maintained exactly as it was, but it would be nice if something could be kept or if the public were able to look around it."</blockquote>
Both the Sherlock Holmes Society of London and The Victorian Society are doing their part to save the property.

Please stand by over at <a href="http://www.bakerstreetjournal.com/" style="color: rgb(0 , 0 , 102); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The Baker Street Journal</a> web site, as we are making some slight improvements to the site. Since its inception in July of 2001, the site has used frames. We thought it was time to put an end to the frames, and the new templates require a bit more work from us. 
 
The site is a work in progress (hasn't it always been so?) that will change over the next week or so. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email us.

Ripped from the Headlines: The Lion's Mane

A real-life version of "The Lion's Mane" occurred in Westport, Massachusetts, near Boston. While not a Lion's Mane (aka Cyanaea capillata), it was no less traumatic when a swimmer was <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/06/29/swimmer_stung_by_portuguese_man_of_war_off_westport_beach/" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">severely stung by two Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish</a>. Understandably, the victim said:

"It was the most excruciating situation I have ever been in. The pain was incredible."</blockquote>

Harry Potter Death Portent — Echoes of Sherlock Holmes

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"the best and the wisest man whom I have ever known" [FINA] </h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx88PO71Qq1X5iWYB-qaVdKw3aSTbGY7_NdmNhJq5jcuQTNIrrMs52ZzesFpAOQZUg8XeGru1OiKgjno52TZb4HIpPtiWXKcasJeNGVOZLbi2naVsDy6jExU0vFNKF1jk79KQ230rHHE9u/s1600/FINA-Watson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx88PO71Qq1X5iWYB-qaVdKw3aSTbGY7_NdmNhJq5jcuQTNIrrMs52ZzesFpAOQZUg8XeGru1OiKgjno52TZb4HIpPtiWXKcasJeNGVOZLbi2naVsDy6jExU0vFNKF1jk79KQ230rHHE9u/s1600/FINA-Watson.jpg" /></a></div>
 
Penned by Watson after he presumed his friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, perished at the Reichenbach Falls, these words - and the extremely emotion-filled introduction to <a href="http://camdenhouse.ignisart.com/canon/fina.htm" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">"The Final Problem"</a> - reflect the level of despair that Watson and his readers felt when then learned of the demise of Holmes. 
<blockquote style="font-style: italic;">
 
It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavoured to give some account of my strange experiences in his company . . . and to have said nothing of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill.</blockquote>
 
In a similar vein, J.K. Rowling is making headlines as <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/06/26/060626232443.lhc6qc94.html" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">she announced there will be two deaths</a> in the last installment of the Harry Potter series, possibly including the protagonist. 
 
The Guardian 's interactive editorial "Comment is free" section has an entry called <a href="http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/phil_maynard/2006/06/harry_potter_must_die.html" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Harry Potter Must Die</a>, in which Phil Maynard claims "it's worth remembering that deaths in literature aren't always what they seem." He naturally uses an example of a certain detective, whose exploits made him the Harry Potter of his day, in terms of popularity and sales.

In the June 27 installment of <a href="http://www.straightdope.com/index.html" style="color: rgb(0 , 0 , 102); font-weight: bold;">The Straight Dope,</a> the question was posed to the research staff: "<a href="http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbegprofit.html" style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">How much money do beggars make?"</a> 
 
 
<blockquote>
"Data! Data! Data! I cannot make bricks without clay."</blockquote>
 
While there are little empirical data to go on, the author leads with the example from the Canon and even goes so far as to quote Leslie Klinger, BSI, editor of <a href="http://annotatedsherlockholmes.com/" style="color: rgb(0 , 0 , 102); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes</a>.
