Occasionally, it's a small bit of scholarship, other times it's a historical look at the scholarship of others, and possibly it's just an observation. A trifle, if you will.</div><div><br /></div><div>At this point, we're out of steam—it was a challenging year for all. So we must leave you with an effort that feels incomplete (how very 2020!), as there were only five connections to Santa's famous reindeer that we could find, rather than the full eight (or nine, if you prefer):</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dasher</b>: "he had availed himself of a cab so that he could loiter behind or dash past them and so escape their notice." [HOUN]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dancer</b>: "Round and round the room she danced, her hands clapping, her dark eyes gleaming with delighted wonder" [REDC]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Prancer</b>: "In an instant it reared up upon its hind legs with a snort of rage, and pranced and tossed in a way that would have unseated any but a most skilful rider." [STUD]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Vixen</b>: "A haze lay low upon the farthest sky-line, out of which jutted the fantastic shapes of Belliver and Vixen Tor" [HOUN]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Comet</b>: "Then Sherlock Holmes cocked his eye at me, leaning back on the cushions with a pleased and yet critical face, like a connoisseur who has just taken his first sip of a comet vintage."[STOC]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Cupid</b>: "Lord St. Simon, who has shown himself for over twenty years proof against the little god’s arrows, has now definitely announced his approaching marriage with Miss Hatty Doran, the fascinating daughter of a California millionaire." [NOBL]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Donner</b>: "Not only was his body that of a giant but everything about him was grotesque, gigantic, and terrifying. His voice was like thunder in our little house." [REDC]</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Blitzen</b>: " ‘Very good.’ He suddenly sprang up, and darting like lightning across the room he flung open the door." [ENGR]</div><div><br /></div><div>And for the completists out there, Rich Krisciunas suggested this:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Rudolph</b>: "A red-veined nose jutted out like a vulture's beak, and two fierce gray eyes glared at me from under tufted brows."

Baker Street Elementary – Masters of the Obvious

In college, when someone displayed this kind of ridiculousness, we'd mockingly fire up everyone's favorite game show, "Masters of the Obvious," and introduce them to the crowd.</div><div><br /></div><div>In recent years, Captain Obvious has become a part of our collective consciousness, in his role as mascot for Hotels.com. Attired in a fake naval-military outfit, he points out the commonsensical things associated with using their service.</div><div><br /></div><div>In "The Boscombe Valley Mystery," Sherlock Holmes warns Watson: "There is nothing more deception than an obvious fact."</div><div><br /></div><div>But does this fly in the face of Holmes's stating the so-called 'obvious' in other circumstances? For example, in "<b>The Red-Headed League</b>," Sherlock Holmes draws up these conclusions after looking at Jabez Wilson:</div><div><blockquote><div>“Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labour, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else.” <br /></div></blockquote></div><div>Manual labor would seem obvious at first glance; but we need to look beyond the obvious, as Holmes counsels. Was it that Wilson's enlarged hand had other causes: an injury, or perhaps a birth defect?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Another example comes from "<b>The Blue Carbuncle</b>," when Holmes was examining Henry Baker's hat:</div><div><div>“That the man was highly intellectual is of course obvious upon the face of it...it is a question of cubic capacity.”</div></div><div><br /></div><div>The size of the cranium and intelligence are very weakly associated, if at all. It would be obvious to assume Mr. Baker was intelligent, but should we trust that? What about a potential birth or growth defect that may have afflicted Henry Baker? </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And when John Hector McFarlane made his dramatic entrance to 221B Baker Street in "<b>The Norwood Builder</b>," Holmes observed:</div><div><blockquote><div>“...beyond the obvious facts that you are a bachelor, a solicitor, a Freemason, and an asthmatic, I know nothing whatever about you.”</div></blockquote></div><div>Very similar to the situation above in "The Red-Headed League," don't you think? And yet, we can find a fault in Holmes's very first observation. Disheveled clothing may <i>obviously</i> point to bachelorhood, but Holmes tells us not to trust the obvious. Mr. McFarlane had just come from an overnight at Anerley Arms (not at home) and rushed to Baker Street, which could have happened whether he was married or single.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So, should we trust the obvious in the Canon? Clearly not when Holmes is explaining himself. Isn't that obvious?</div><div><br /></div><div>Perhaps Holmes developed his distaste for it in his earlier years at Baker Street Elementary...</div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5VSmqks3nxgBHpuRrC94dGCeeogq2ZY-a7zt7ANe0DdT02OxbB-SNrZV9lwCaGgwqjALG5C_yaxQUVkN499KSXvgAB0Kfp-rS8EqdNDgWw7dPCnPc82dd1mLdkYRFkE31-dTj9RYQx1j/s768/Baker+Street+Elementary+95.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5VSmqks3nxgBHpuRrC94dGCeeogq2ZY-a7zt7ANe0DdT02OxbB-SNrZV9lwCaGgwqjALG5C_yaxQUVkN499KSXvgAB0Kfp-rS8EqdNDgWw7dPCnPc82dd1mLdkYRFkE31-dTj9RYQx1j/w640-h480/Baker+Street+Elementary+95.2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvTV6AvnfTgv-u0vdHFfrByFTT5kTw2Ou3MjNe63dMWiSlL2HKuPgK6Brl4FjWR7KMr3M2X1YNd8Z8mIcT_oSeRkrVzJddr5diIXhRlLJNxDYmseBd99Q909UZ3lgEgtzFH2xwMVi46Nc/s768/Baker+Street+Elementary+95.3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvTV6AvnfTgv-u0vdHFfrByFTT5kTw2Ou3MjNe63dMWiSlL2HKuPgK6Brl4FjWR7KMr3M2X1YNd8Z8mIcT_oSeRkrVzJddr5diIXhRlLJNxDYmseBd99Q909UZ3lgEgtzFH2xwMVi46Nc/w640-h480/Baker+Street+Elementary+95.3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn_c9l76C6-rl0W0er0DR9ifuTpoJm9suVEAjj0ZrlBsvuQBy70vTKfl4JWRhxSkclppbaII4db4rXLXdAAgu_2tBfAjJbb_Uhn2nMK9083cpdVemGzxlrJuC5F9_SJmaI0d9QaPw9lllS/s768/Baker+Street+Elementary+95.4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn_c9l76C6-rl0W0er0DR9ifuTpoJm9suVEAjj0ZrlBsvuQBy70vTKfl4JWRhxSkclppbaII4db4rXLXdAAgu_2tBfAjJbb_Uhn2nMK9083cpdVemGzxlrJuC5F9_SJmaI0d9QaPw9lllS/w640-h480/Baker+Street+Elementary+95.4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><br /><div><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px;"> 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.

After an admittedly trying year, many Sherlockians deserve multiple moments of delight, charm, and warmth during the holiday season. Thankfully, Belanger Books' new collection <strong><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3qxtruS" target="_blank">A Three-Pipe Christma</a>s</i></strong> is the perfect holiday tome. Mixing Sherlockian canon, scholarship, and pastiche, this book provides an exceptional, enjoyable read for Sherlockians of all persuasions.</p><p>
</p><p><strong><i>A Three-Pipe Christmas</i></strong> begins with "<a href="https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/32/the-adventures-of-sherlock-holmes/351/adventure-7-the-adventure-of-the-blue-carbuncle/">The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle</a>", which leads into a trilogy of essays that provide Sherlockian insights into the context of the story. Julie McKuras, BSI ("The Duchess of Devonshire") in her essay "The Season of Forgiveness" and Monica M. Schmidt, BSI ("Julia Stoner") in her "A Most Difficult Time of the Year" highlight how the story reflects much of the joy <i>and </i>the melancholy of the holiday. As someone introduced to Holmes in his youth, I found the musings of Shannon Carlisle, BSI ("Beacons of the Future!") on introducing Holmes to her fourth-grade students in "A Brilliant Tale for the Youngest Sherlockians" especially touching and insightful.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnsQdBlAsdWIt_WA2bGcrHC9N0okJty12-MrSVwnp3kXpNuL0rVSg3x-onql6Jb0eJybAza6wK_JEmpN7ImHACgF9_G-pWi7PjmuPa3UABPZSJiy8YPY8wyxb_do0wxyWXMNVHQLd3N7V/s2048/-leaving+Breckinridge.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1535" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnsQdBlAsdWIt_WA2bGcrHC9N0okJty12-MrSVwnp3kXpNuL0rVSg3x-onql6Jb0eJybAza6wK_JEmpN7ImHACgF9_G-pWi7PjmuPa3UABPZSJiy8YPY8wyxb_do0wxyWXMNVHQLd3N7V/w480-h640/-leaving+Breckinridge.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Leaving Breckenridge" by <i>Strand </i>artist Jeffrey McKeever</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Our next selection is "The Unique Hamlet" by Vincent Starrett, a tale that celebrates its centennial this year. As a first-time reader of this particular pastiche, I found it quite enjoyable for its sly sense of humor as well as its prose styling. (Or as one commenter states, the story's tone is "more Lewis Carroll than Conan Doyle," and that is to its credit). With its focus on book collecting and literature, "The Unique Hamlet" has more than earned its reputation as a high-end pastiche.</p><p>The essays that follow provide insight into the history of "The Unique Hamlet" describe its importance in written Sherlockian pastiche. The late Susan Rice, BSI ("Beeswing") describes it in her essay as the "gold standard" in its balance of humor and style. Dan Andricaco (who edited <b><i>The Three Pipe Christmas</i></b>) also discusses how Vincent Starrett deftly balances pastiche, parody, and satire in writing "The Unique Hamlet." In the final related essay, Randall Stock, BSI ("South African Securities") highlights how a story that satirizes literature and book collecting morphs into a moment when "satire becomes pastiche."</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigzBwzD8Fx9CxGsofCqmfds1I2cPqChBWd6JOL2GvaW9eFunh8utGQ5PqoNii1vZ_4BqRChoeAvJp4zluYwcDn_aVbrBnkiKFHcKpmr4QL4O_fgMkNMPtDw0teeOMtKuJWJD1Gfoe7kHvl/s2048/Unique+Dickensians+3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigzBwzD8Fx9CxGsofCqmfds1I2cPqChBWd6JOL2GvaW9eFunh8utGQ5PqoNii1vZ_4BqRChoeAvJp4zluYwcDn_aVbrBnkiKFHcKpmr4QL4O_fgMkNMPtDw0teeOMtKuJWJD1Gfoe7kHvl/w426-h640/Unique+Dickensians+3.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Illustration by Brian Belanger</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><p>The final story is "The Adventure of the Unique Dickensians" by August Derleth, featuring the detective Solar Pons and Dr. Parker. Although Solar Pons is inspired by Sherlock Holmes (and "The Unique Dickenseians" lifts some tone and spirit from "The Unique Hamlet), calling Pons a pastiche of Holmes would not be entirely accurate. As the Pons-oriented essays by David Marcum PSI, Bob Byrne PSI, Roger Johnson, BSI ("Shinwell Johnson"), and Derrick Belanger, PSI attest, Sherlockians may find much to enjoy about exploring the Holmes-inspired yet modern-spirit tales of Solar Pons. </p><p>With its illustrations by Karen Gosselin providing a <i>Strand Magazine</i>-like feel, <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3qxtruS" target="_blank">The Three Pipe Christmas</a></i></b> serves both as an excellent introduction to Sherlockian thought as well as the ideal gift for a long-term student of the canon.
