“Did you tell him of our telephone appointment?” [3GAR] 


From the Gramophone to the telephone, November seems to be quite the month of technology here on Trifles.

“modern gramophones are a remarkable invention” [MAZA] 


When you glance across the Sherlock Holmes stories, there really aren't that many instances of children. Some of the tales are just not suitable for little ears, after all.
