The nearest real location to 221B Baker Street in 1895 (as it always is in Sherlock-land, as someone -- Ronnie Knox, probably --remarked) is irrelevant, since the current Museum (which is not actually at that address, unless they have cut a deal with the Post Office -- a real possibility) is where the mystique lives (though not, I thought, six quid worth). Addresses change so often in London that we can say that it *might* have been 221 at some time or other (I took a picture of 22 Russell Square, the address where a great grandmother was born, but I am reasonably certain that it is the wrong house -- not that it matters for the folks back home.) As for meeting And, I thought about trying to set something up, since I was in England (and a bit of Wales) for more than 2 weeks, but I am glad I didn't since I don't think I could have worked in one more thing than I did. The trip to the Hallowed Ground was a chance thing, a gap between arriving at Paddington (how come no one has picked on that -- or the other -- bear?) from Ludlow and taking the express from there to Heathrow to catch the flight home. Remember, Holmes is not the omniscient detective -- that is The Thinking Machine (name and author gone). --part1_192.d0098a5.2ab10ee2_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit (This is meant mainly for Cowan and And, but I am sending it to all to avoid having extra copies coming in.)
