Line 1:
{{
== Why does Watson write this stuff for publication? ==
* The example that springs most immediately to mind is in "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton", but also applies to any other story in which Holmes undertakes illegal behavior. It amounts to a public confession. "And then we broke into the guy's house, hid behind the curtain while some lady came in and shot him, burned all his papers, and then kept the entire escapade a secret -- hey, wait a second..."
Line 74:
== McMurdo ==
* At the end of ''The Sign of the Four'', Holmes states that Jonathan Small's inside man must have been the Indian butler. Why did he rule out the former prize-fighter, McMurdo?
** Holmes knows that whoever the spy is they had been there for Sholto's entire tenure in the house, and McMurdo hasn't been there that long. The butler is the only staff member who has been consistently present the entire time.
