<h4 data-original-attrs="{"style":""}"> <span data-keep-original-tag="false">“the judgment which we have pronounced</span>” [ABBE] </h4> <div><img src="//assets.libsyn.com/show/93115/292_-_Bow-Wow.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="325" /></div> <div>You say bow, I say bow. Potato, potato, tomato, tomato, let's call the whole thing off.</div> <div> </div> <div>Of course, that song never made sense in print, just like Lord Donegall's assertion that there are alternative pronunciations to "His Last Bow." We take a look at an old piece of scholarship about this story. It's just a Trifle.</div> <div> </div> <div><em>If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com.
