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.

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.
