“gone—stolen, vanished” [BRUC] 


A few episodes ago, we investigated various items that clients brought to Sherlock Holmes and items that acted as vital physical clues. It was something of a show-and-tell.

This time, we're flipping the idea on its head and considering various stories where something—or someone—goes missing. What and who will be it? Tune in for this Trifle.

“with a strength for which I should hardly have given him credit” [STUD] 


There were a number of individuals who exhibited strength in the Sherlock Holmes stories, to varying degrees. But which of them would you classify as the strongest?

One of our listeners had an idea as to who it might be, so we surveyed the Canon and found a handful of others to make this a deeper discussion. Turns out it's just a Trifle.

“the loss of the old black boot” [HOUN] 


Brown boot, black boot — these two items of Sir Henry Baskerville's went missing at the Northumberland Hotel shortly after he arrived in London. And they begin to put Sherlock Holmes on the scent of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

However, there's a wrinkle regarding the old black boot that persists throughout the story. George Fletcher, BSI ("The Cardboard Box") made a note of this curious detail for the very first time in The Papers on the Sundial, a 2020 publication from The Five Orange Pips. And it's quite the Trifle.

“the name of a young woman, Watson” [SUSS] 


Here's a strange one. We hear of the Matilda Briggs in one story. Do you know which story and what it was associated with?

This entry in our Travel Series takes us on a mysterious sea voyage that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write a short story and then borrow a real name from this true tale and plant it in Sherlock Holmes story. What as the connection? Well, that's just a Trifle.

“Look at that!” [3STU] 



Sherlock Holmes had clients of all kinds. Some that visited him with vague fears. Others that were concerned about missing documents.

But when he had cases and clients that included a little show-and-tell — where a physical object was displayed — well, that is just a Trifle.

And listen closely, because we ask for some input from you on this one!
