Great Beginnings

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>"On the very day that I had come to this conclusion" [STUD] </strong></p> <p>It all began with a chance meeting between two medical school colleagues at the Criterion Bar. Stamford then took Watson to St Bartholomew's Hospital (aka "Barts"), where, in a chemical laboratory, he made the acquaintance of one Sherlock Holmes.</p> <p>In Season 6, we're bringing back our monthly series "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist," in which we use historic Sherlockian scholarship as a discussion point. In this case, we were inspired by William S. Baring-Gould's "The London of Holmes and Watson" in Vol. 9, No. 3 (1959) of The Baker Street Journal.</p> <p>We explore this fateful meeting, delve into the history of its time-honored location, and determine the exact date of its occurrence. It's just a Trifle.</p> <p><br /> <strong>NOTE</strong>: Be sure to catch the announcement of two regular drawings courtesy of our sponsor <em>The Baker Street Journal</em>, and how you can qualify.<br /> <br /> Full show notes: <a href= "https://ihose.co/trifles262">https://ihose.co/trifles262</a></p> <p>Support Trifles: <a href= "https://patreon.com/trifles">https://patreon.com/trifles</a></p>
