Nota bene: Долуописаната сцена не е част от никоя от историите на сър Артър Конан Дойл. Всяка прилика с фикционални лица и събития обаче е напълно преднамерена. At the age of nine Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school, Hodder Place, Stonyhurst. He then went on to Stonyhurst College, leaving in 1875. Because there is so much space to be filled in a deep terraced house, the rooms of Holmes and Watson in this floor plan are scattered among four additional rooms which are rented to other tenants. The most obvious difference is the inclusion of the occupants, Holmes and Watson. Nearly all other depictions leave them out. My overall rating is 4.5 stars for the entire bind up. I do list each story and my rating individually, as well as my average rating for each collection.*

And typical of Victorian lit., women are downplayed so much, also the natives in Britain's colonies. This is majorly disappointing, and at times extremely offensive but the beauty of the work is only slightly marred. Having been a fan of these stories and the main characters for years, I'd like to make two observations: As pointed out above, terraced houses were low-cost structures intended for the working class, and even the walls were shared between units to keep costs down and squeeze in as many families as possible. So the idea of a terraced house having a decorative bow window is ludicrous.

Can you imagine the trouble, the danger and the complaints that would arise with sharing these premises with strangers? Holmes would think nothing of taking his pistol and firing one hundred shots into a wall. What neighbor would tolerate that? I have solved the case, Watson." He sat up, brushing a fried egg from the lapel of his dressing gown. "Allow me to elucidate." This version has also apparently been used in some video games; I recall granting permission to several game creators, but they apparently forgot to show me their final product.
