1894

 

Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez" IN Doyle, The Return Of Sherlock Holmes IN Arthur Conan Doyle: 3 In 1 (Mumbai, 2004), pp. 233-259.

"...three massive manuscript volumes...," containing Holmes' and Watson's work for 1894, include:

"...the repulsive story of the red leech and the terrible death of Crosby, the banker." (ibid.);

"...an account of the Addleton tragedy, and the singular contents of the ancient British barrow." (ibid.);

"The famous Smith-Mortimer succession case..." (ibid.);

"...the tracking and arrest of Huret, the Boulevard assassin..." (ibid.);

"...the episode of Yoxley Old Place..." (ibid.)

Although "Each of these would furnish a narrative...," (ibid.) Watson recounts only the sixth of these listed cases. Poul Anderson recounts the second and locates it accurately in 1894. We appreciate two intersecting series.
