As part 9 of The Sign of the Four in "Letters from Watson" opens, I am immediately fond of Mrs. Forrester, the employer of the awesome and adorable Mary Morstan. Her reaction to Watson's news about the case, during his polite afternoon call is what charms me.

“It is a romance!” cried Mrs. Forrester. “An injured lady, half a million in treasure, a black cannibal, and a wooden-legged ruffian. They take the place of the conventional dragon or wicked earl.”

She's genre-savvy! I'm imagining a charming rowhouse, but Camberwell, like the Brixton/Kennington setting of A Study in Scarlet, is in a part of Lambeth that's seen a lot of reconstruction as housing projects. (I am distracted by the presence of a Korean fried chicken takeaway on Camberwell New Road. Sweet-and-spicy chicken sounds really good right now.)

Miss Morstan is, of course, a better person than anyone else in the room.

“It is for Mr. Thaddeus Sholto that I am anxious,” she said. “Nothing else is of any consequence; but I think that he has behaved most kindly and honorably throughout. It is our duty to clear him of this dreadful and unfounded charge.”

His family has done her a great deal of harm, out of selfish motives, and he's been set up as ridiculous in the audience's eyes -- yet her thought is for his being treated fairly by the law regarding his brother's murder.

Organized, practical, difficult-to-frighten, compassionate Miss Morstan may be intended as a model of Victorian womanhood, but she's in no way a delicate blossom. I adore her.

Meanwhile, Holmes is off in search of a steam launch. It belatedly occurred to me that I have no idea what a steam launch is, other than something boat-like. It turns out to be a medium/small boat with a smoke stack, a cabin for its workings, and an awning if there's anything that benefits from shelter. Thames Steamers are historic passenger steam launches, so they're painted up smartly -- but ordinary steam launches hauling this-and-that were a feature of the Thames from 1815 or so. After railroad service started, the proportion of passengers versus cargo shifted in the direction of cargo.

Holmes' "rude sailor dress" features a "pea-jacket," later more commonly called a "pea coat." The pea coat, a heavy wool double-breasted jacket that ends at about crotch-length, was a standard part of naval attire in Europe and the U.S. from the 18th century until very recently. It also had a huge fashion moment in the 1960s, thanks in part to the Beatles. Fashion-focused people wax rhapsodic about pea coats. Macy's has one in stock, appropriately made by Nautica. (Not a rec, not an affiliate, just looking for a harmless example.)

Then Holmes... then Holmes... *giggles*... puts my face in my hands to stop giggling... Holmes then... looks up spirit gum and grease paint, as I don't think you can get either off without some sort of agent like baby oil... aw, who the heck cares, Holmes fools Watson and Athelney Jones. The great detective has a sense of humor!

(I recently watched the entire run of The Pretender and am working on season 3 of White Collar -- so I am inclined to let things go for the sake of a charming con man working for justice. Which Holmes is. Jones is wrong. Holmes would never have joined the police. Too limiting. Had his sense of justice not led him into consulting, he would have been a con man.)

The meal Holmes promises his guests is another interesting combination of high and low. There will be oysters, which were so common and cheap that they are roughly equivalent to chicken wings today. The brace of grouse -- a bird that's hunted but not farmed -- suggests Holmes has a friend in the countryside or access to a butcher who does. And the "something a little choice in white wine" is absolutely high-brow, possibly a present from a satisfied client.

We are going after criminals in a fast steam launch later, so I have high hopes of pursuit and grappling.

What do you think would be Eli's seasonal fashion? Does he wear turtlenecks all year round but with varying thicknesses? What kind of coats does he likes? What kind of aesthetic or fashion sense do you think he goes for? Does he value looks or functionality in his clothes? Does he like bright colours or his his clothing more monotone and dark?

Off topic, would eli ever think of having pet, or does he have pets? If he ever wanted one, what would it be and why? How would he combat fur [if he had a furry one] do you think or would he not care?

Eliyah is one who doesn't like to show much skin no matter the time of year, so even in the summer time he'd be wearing something with long sleeves (just a much lighter kind of material than say wool or the like). Turtlenecks are a favorite for him, and for coats his favorites are pea and reefer styled coats. He does have some wrap coats and double breasted trench he likes. Colors he tends towards the monotone, but he does enjoy some varying shades of brown, muted oranges and yellows.

I don't think Eli would ever think of getting a pet, or really wanting one, unless it was something that wouldn't mess up his stuff, get hair or such everywhere, so likely the most he'd get is something like a fish, or a couple fish. Absolutely drop the money to make it so he has to do as minimal cleaning and all as possible. If the tank would have to be cleaned, he probably would pay someone to do it lmao. But again, that's assuming he would get one at all, and he likely wouldn't.

I would like to propose a new clothing style/aesthetic: introducing ‘Sundaycore’

Mostly based on my own style, but here are some of examples of what I envision sundaycore looks like (for people with varying moods, many aesthetics, who contain multitudes like me): 

My preference is mostly androgynous and modest, and mostly encompass 3 aesthetics: classic academia, 90s artsy/plant mom, and cool grandmacore. 

- long plain shirts in solid colours or classic neutral tones

- also long checkered/plaid/stripes shirts

- long coats (I’m talking trench, pea, double-breasted, all of them)

- blazers (and and all, bonus if vintage/thrifted)

- pullovers and turtlenecks

- sweaters and vests 

- creams, khakis, browns

- muted colours

- overalls (denim, corduroy, etc)

- loose blouses

- button up shirts

- boatline tops 

- thin stripes on shirts 

- long skirts

- high-waisted jeans

- colourful shirts (geometric shapes)

- mom jeans!!

Have suggestions? Drop ‘em in the comments!

For Snyder :3, 👖 ✂️ 💢 😨

🍩 🍟 🍧

Ask Game

I would lay down my life for you, thanks.

👖 - What is their go-to outfit?

Snyder's closet is very extensive, so it's hard to call anything a go-to outfit for him. However, his most common "work" outfit is a loose-fitting silk dress shirt, formal trousers, and a very specific double-breasted Gucci wool pea coat. He loves anything excessive, luxurious, and/or a little slutty.

✂️ - What is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? How easily do they let go of people?

Snyder is extremely bad at cutting people out of his life. I would say that his "last straw" would be inflicting harm onto someone he loves, but he's married to the guy who murdered the first person he ever loved. The man just can't quit talking to anyone.

💢 - What are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

His showers can last up to two hours. He has very strict organization rules for his office/work spaces. Sometimes he hums very loudly while doing tasks.

😨 - When scared, do they go into "flight" or "fight"?

Fight. Flight never even crosses his mind. Snyder's immediate reaction to conflict is to do his very best to turn the other person into a large red stain.

🍩 - Favorite sweet treat?

Either raspberry dark chocolate or blini with cream cheese and blackberries. He also loves anything with cherries.

🍟 - Do they order food often? Or they prefer to cook their own food?

Snyder is a below-average cook, but I feel like he usually just has his husbands cook for him. When none of the three of them feels like cooking, he is not above ordering cheap takeout instead.

🍧 - Do they still have any objects from their childhood? What significance does it have to them? What would their reaction be if they lost it?

He doesn't have anything from his childhood. Snyder and his father moved around a lot after his mother died, and he never stayed in one place long enough to gain very many possessions. He did have a knitted black cat, but it was lost during one of the moves. He still misses it a little bit.
