Episode 292 – His Last Bow — Wow!

“the judgment which we have pronounced” [ABBE] 


You say bow, I say bow. Potato, potato, tomato, tomato, let's call the whole thing off.

Of course, that song never made sense in print, just like Lord Donegall's assertion that there are alternative pronunciations to "His Last Bow." We take a look at an old piece of scholarship about this story. It's just a Trifle.

If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
