The Hound of the Baskervilles: Three Broken Threads

Hat tip to @myemuisemo for another excellent post that covers much of what I was planning together:

Data protection was not really a thing back in 1889. However, paper hotel registers would be something filled in by the front desk staff, not the guest. They would contain details of extra charges incurred as well, all stuff generally done by computer, but you can still buy paper copies today. Particularly for the Indian market, where less than half the population have Internet access. These registers are generally mandatory and in some countries, the data will still be passed to the police when it concerns newly arrived foreigners. That's why they ask for your passport.

Newcastle upon Tyne, the one people generally talk about as opposed to Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, was at the centre of a major coal mining area in North-East England, the Durham and Northumberland coalfields being in close proximity. The industry was still employing children - boys as young as 12 could work in mines - and was still a pretty dangerous, not to mention unhealthy industry.

The British economy was heavily reliant on coal, especially the newly built electric power stations. While the railways had a big coal trade for internal transport for domestic purposes, boats also played a big role, either going via canal or down the East Coast of Great Britain to the London Docks. This route would become vulnerable to German attack in the World Wars, particularly in the second war from fast torpedo boats known to the British as "E-boats"; the East Coast convoys are a lesser-known part of the naval war, with Patrick Troughton having served with Coastal Force Command.

The Mayor of Gloucester, like most civic mayors in England, is the chair of the council, elected to a one-year term by their fellow councillors. The current holder is Conservative councillor Lorraine Campbell. It's a mostly ceremonial role involving going to various events while wearing a red cloak and a big hat:

Gloucester's Deputy Mayor is called the Sheriff of Gloucester. There is still a Sheriff of Nottingham, by the way.

The Anglophone Canadian accent was historically noticeably different to an American one and of course had its own varieties. They've gotten closer over the decades, especially due to television.

Sir Henry would have limited luggage space on the ship over, so three pairs of boots would be reasonable. He'd have to ship over anything else at further cost, so it could be cheaper to buy new in London.

Deliveries of telegrams that weren't in the immediate area of the office cost extra. Bradshaw's Guide for Tourists in Great Britain and Ireland would state the nearest telegraph office for a town, as the 1866 edition demonstrates:

Sir Charles' estate was worth around £80m in today's money, but that would not even get him onto The Sunday Times Rich List, which starts at £350m (Sir Lewis Hamilton, i.e. the F1 driver). It tops out with Gopichand Hinduja and his family at an estimated £37.2 billion, whose conglomerate is many focussed on India, but also are the biggest shareholders in US chemical company Quaker Houghton.

Westmoreland was a historical county in Northern England; it was absorbed into Cumbria in 1974, but its area became part of the Westmoreland and Furness unitary authority in 2023.

"Entailed" means that Sir Charles has stipulated in a legal document that the Baskerville estate would have to pass to Sir Henry's heir intact. This was a feudal era practice that has now been abolished in most jurisdictions, with limited remaining use in England and Wales. Simply put Sir Henry is not allowed to sell the house or the land, even part of it. He can do what he likes with the cash and probably the chattels, the movable property like the candlesticks and the toasting forks.

This page covers it in relation to the works of Jane Austen with relevant spoilers:

Borough is another name for the area of Southwark. It got a Tube station in 1890, when the City and South London Railway opened, now the Bank branch of the Northern line. It also is famous for Borough Market, then a wholesale food market under cover of buildings from the 1850s. Today it is a retail market for specialty food; kind of like a farmers' market.

In 1888, the 10:30 from Paddington would get to Exeter at 15:35, a journey of five hours. @myemuisemo provides route maps. I would add at this point, GWR services to SW England went via Bristol, adding a lot of time to the journey, while the LSWR route from Waterloo was a lot more direct. Wags dubbed the former "the Great Way Round". The construction of two cut-off lines allowed the GWR to go via Westbury and Castle Cary.

I will cover the modern day condition of the route in my Chapter 6 post.

The GWR still had some broad-gauge track at 2,140 mm(7 ft 1⁄4 in) left that Brunel had favoured, but this would be finally eliminated in 1892.

Finally, Holmes is referencing the sport of fencing when he learns the cabbie has been given his name. The foil is the lightest of the three swords used in competitive fencing, such as the Olympics.

In an age before electronic fencing equipment, point scoring relied on the eyesight of the umpire... and the honesty of the competitions.

I was in my fencing club at university. I can't say I was that great. I preferred the epee, which doesn't have the priority rules...

Glasgow highlights

free museums!

a very cool cathedral, also free

I really hope this doesn't sound reductive or stereotypical but I do appreciate that I didn't have to feel bad or awkward if I accidentally swore in public.

we went to a Ceilidh! And yeah the crowd was mostly American tourists but it was still super fun, I really liked the folk dances and the way they walked us through them.

loved all the murals!

cider options at all the pubs! I was concerned going in because I don't like beer but I didn't have to be, I just had my boozy little juice and I was very happy. Also way more interesting cider options than I usually see, lots of fun berry flavors.

we did get to go to one tea room, I had a lovely little shortbread and some Earl Grey, which like I could do here but it was about the experience

I appreciate the dedication you have to keeping cones on your statues

y'all were so nice and patient with me when I didn't understand what the fuck you were saying

almost all the food we had was delicious

General Scotland Highlights from the two days I wasn't in Glasgow

went on a gorgeous walk/hike outside of Stirling

got to go to a cafe/bookshop in Stirling that I've been following on instagram for literal years

got to go to another bookshop in Edinburgh that had a fluffy white shop dog named Artie (I think short for Artemis! She was a good girl and I gave her head scritches)

Had a cheeky nando's and learned that, tragically, the UK doesn't have the mango-lime sauce, the superior mild sauce. Ended up having to re-douse everything in the medium garlic, which we tragically don't have in the US because it was better than plain medium. I need Nando's US and Nando's UK to combine efforts so everyone can have the best sauces

got to sit in a folk music pub and enjoy the music!

I thought ScotRail was super easy to use and very convenient

the most touristy shit we did was the Whisky Experience in Edinburgh, and I thought that was fun! I was thinking a lot about my Genealogy Aunt who passed last year on this trip, and one of her favorite ancestors was some great-great-grandmother barrel maker so it was cool to learn about the importance of that to the process

the lower points, for full disclosure

the fucking hills. I was warned that the person we were staying with lived at the top of a hill, I was not adequately prepped to know that the whole city is like doing a goddamn stairmaster workout.

related to point one, I got the worst plantar fasciitis flareup I've had in years, plus some of the blisters that are just inevitable if you suddenly walk like 10+ miles a day when you normally walk 5-7, felt like my feet were being stabbed every time I took a step

related to point two, we were walking most of the time but the people I was with kept making me feel like when you're driving, and the car next to you ZOOMS ahead, only for you to catch up at the next red light, making you wonder why they bothered zooming? that's not on Glasgow, though

I had a really hard time convincing my brain that some of the historical shit was real, like we were sitting in the ruins of Holyrood Abbey and my brain was like "this is a movie set"

I had the worst fucking breakfast wrap of my life in the Glasgow airport, how did it taste like potsticker filling mixed with baked beans and why

miscellaneous travel notes

this was the first time I bought an airtag, which I kept in my suitcase, and it came in SO HANDY when Aer Lingus left my luggage in Dublin, I didn't waste any time lingering around the baggage claim

If you're going from Europe to the US, if you go through Dublin you can do US customs there and then when you get to your destination you can just go home like you're getting off a domestic flight, 10/10 would do again. My parents went to Montreal this week for their 30th anniversary and they found out that they do this there, too.

So, because of the history of when people in Glasgow started to get that colonialism money, a lot of the historical things we saw were in a category of "old, but not SUPER old." As an American with limited travel experience, I feel like I've got this perception that everything in Europe is old as hell, but most of what we saw in Glasgow was like Philadelphia or DC-levels of old. If you are also an American who wants a taste of that old-ass history that we don't get as much over here, I found more of that in the day trip to Edinburgh. This is in miscellaneous because it's neither positive nor negative, it's just something to know

tbh eastern europe is pretty safe like i dont even know what to say more. i recommend having luggage you can quickly move around (i avoid big suitcases for this reason and choose a big backpack and/or a bag instead). of course depends which countries you want to go to because there are obvious unsafe options but i assume you know not to go to a dictatorship or a country where bombing regularly happens. my advice for solo travel is as you are not speaking to anyone in a foreign language (if you meet other travellers you’re in a group and it’s safer and you all rely on the solo travel safety skills so it’s also good) you can easily blend in! if you are not behaving like an obnoxious american tourist you will do ok. :) i recommend going on a free tour the first day you’re in so you will get to know the city centre with others and you won’t have to rely on maps so much (i do recommend paper maps also, tourist info points often hand them out for free)

all useful!! ive been to a fair few countries and been able to navigate fine with what languages i can function in + basic common, my worry is literally just that I'd be a terminal idiot and get on a train headed into a volcano or something. 🌋. and I've only ever gone on hols with other people not alone

At the risk of yelling at clouds, here's one thing you need to know when you become an exchange student that no one will tell you.

You need to listen to your host parents. And I'm not saying that in the "kids these days have no respect" kinda way. Yeah, every year, regardless of your location, there will be a few students who don't respect or listen to their host parents. They're not popular with anyone, and might exclude their home country from being considered for exchanges with their host country in the future. Some organizations offer second chances. Some put you on the next flight home. You'll be warned about that bit. They're not exaggerating.

The second reason, and the one I learned before I ever knew I'd do an exchange of my own, is because There's A Reason They're Telling You That. And, yes, that sounds condescending as all get-out, so here's the story of how I learned that through observation.

Now, just as a preface: this is not an exceptional exchange student story. There's gonna be several people in every exchange program, long or short, who have a story like this. Some more spectacular than others. One fellow student in my year had no one to learn from before her. Her backpack got yeeted off Preikestolen and she spent 6 weeks without personal documents or bank cards. My baby guest sister, the most respectful and meek girl you've ever seen, accidentally committed sacrilege on several levels during Sunday Mass at a Catholic church.

It was the perfect May in Western Europe. Temperatures were in the low to mid twenties, clouds were fluffy, and a local high school my brother went to had organized a two week exchange with a high school in California. The Euros had come back and readjusted, so they imported the baby Muricans and prepared a nicely culture heavy itinerary for the 17-18-yos.

The Californians realized within 6 hours that they could legally get wine and beer. Bars, cafés, supermarkets,... Some had it for breakfast. So, logically, they wanted as much space as possible in their luggage and day packs for souvenirs and... Well, they could get a 12 pack each on their lunch break without anyone batting an eye. As long as the teachers didn't notice you were tipsy, all was well.

They did not understand why their host parents (and local student counterparts) were baffled and alarmed at them going absolutely nuts for it. Ours came home on the verge of alcohol poisoning on the fourth day. I have not heard my mother so angry before or since. She wasn't speaking English, but the gist of it didn't need much translation. It wasn't until I went to university that I saw someone vomit that much. It is still the only time I've seen someone cut back from mindless binge drinking to "nah, three's enough for me, bro" in under 12 hours.

These were not unintelligent kids. They followed their itinerary, they had sourced and packed everything on their supply lists, they checked the weather forecast (even if they didn't understand the commentary) and dressed as well as they could for the weather. Which, as I said before, was perfect T-shirt and shorts weather for the entire two weeks.

The second day we had our adopted West Coast Drought Bunny with us, my parents scraped together their English vocabulary to advise the teens pack a rain coat for their city trip of the day. Not an umbrella, a rain coat. They did the parental thing and repeated themselves several times. My brother demonstrated he had packed his lightweight, wind proof, foldable rain coat and his American counterpart just smiled and assured them he'd be okay.

He came back soaked, having broken one overpriced pocket umbrella sold at tourist traps, switched to one of those thin plastic rain ponchos and ripped that too. He'd also made the genius decision to wear heavy denim jeans and canvas sneakers instead of quick dry cargo shorts and sandals. He had had two hours of sitting in his wet clothes on the bus to consider why he was in this predicament. You can guess what happened next.

Next day, lather, rinse, repeat. Minus the umbrella and jeans, at least. He still was starting to get a full-body rash from being in wet clothes so much.

Fourth day, pre-beer incident, my parents wised up enough to make this optimist with his undying faith in the sunny forecast symbol get out and show his raincoat, and then pack it in front of them, before they would take them to the bus.

This stylish, very expensive, brand name, survival grade rain coat did not have a hood. It was water proof, it fit well, but it assumed weather was a thing that moved straight down at all times, so it is always more versatile to just use a hat or umbrella.

That is not true in spring, or even summer, in Western Europe. Every weather deity has seen the BS that area of the planet has pulled, historically, and is not done punishing them for it. Rain can and does come out of nowhere, most likely with wind, at any angle it damn well pleases, and doesn't leave until it's ruined at least one outfit via the neck or shoulder seam. Maybe it lasts 10 minutes, could be all day. You want a garment that covers your head and core like the least flattering 19th century condom imaginable. Something that won't tear when slip and fall while you run for cover.

He got sent out with my dad's backup coat (approximately 20 years out fashion, five sizes too big and smelling as all emergency clothing does) and came home relatively dry. Progress.

The following afternoon, after a very, very quiet brunch, my mother calmly announced she was taking the boys into town, and our exchange student was going to buy a proper rain coat, because she raised a sensible child who would happily translate for his mother and the store employees, and our guest student had been deemed responsible enough act in his own best interests before he came over. She did not want to call this boy's parents to say he ended up in the ER. Certainly not for pneumonia.

Side fact: if something is commonplace in your host country, there's probably a decent version of it that's affordable in a nearby store. The Californian rain jacket had cost a sum that made my parents question his parents' good judgement. The tiny little "reverts into a silly little pillow you can strap around your waist" thing that actually kept him dry for the next week cost about 90% less.

He didn't complain about it, and my parents didn't report that night of drinking to any teacher. The kids were in 12th grade. My parents knew, from personal experience, that all teens will eventually do unspeakably stupid stuff, and getting tyrannical about it only makes them scared to call home when they really fuck up. They did, however, call all the other parents in class to tell them to check their students' rain coats, and that stores X, Y and Z had a deal on in case they were unpleasantly surprised.

Mysteriously, the teachers reported less "whining" during the second week. Less negative feedback from bus drivers about sopping wet seats. Less blue lips and fingers, because 21°C is way colder when you're soaked than when you're dry. Less vacation pictures with wet hair, too.

So listen to your host parents. About stuff that seems obvious, like maybe not starting your morning with a heavy ale, and about stuff that makes zero sense, like packing a rain coat on the sunniest day imaginable.

It could have started with, “Dear American Tourister . . . “ and ended with “ . . . it shot out from under the bumper and decapitated my husband. You will be hear from my lawyers.”
