The end of the year was always going to be a little strange for Letters From Watson, because the late stories frankly ARE strange. Blanched Soldier is by Holmes, nobody likes Three Gables at all, and now we're in the third person!
I really enjoyed Jabbage's idea that Billy had a go at writing this one, which is why it is 1. a little bit clumsy and 2. a blatant rip-off of Empty House. You're right, Billy, it would be more exciting if the confrontation happened at Baker Street. And anyway, I've never thought Holmes's "oh Moran just HAPPENED to come use my observation position as a sniper nest" bit was very convincing. Obviously it was the most tempting spot on the street. That's why you're in it.
Non-EMPT details: MAZA absolutely ruins everyone's mental image of Baker Street, by moving Holmes's bedroom to the front of the house (and giving it frankly more doors than it needs). Many people have tried to diagram this house. It's impossible, because you can prove that the rooms move between stories, but they've tried.
Holmes amusing himself by putting the stolen crown jewels in someone else's pocket, because the guy was rude to him earlier, is just the sort of nonsense I love to see him doing. Sure, this thing is worth more than my house. So what. Watson'll think it's funny. Hey Watson are you staying for dinner? You are, because I said so, c'mon

The Mazarin Stone
First published in 1921, this was an adaptation of a one-act play Doyle wrote called The Crown Diamond: An Evening with Sherlock Holmes that ran in London that same year and featured Sebastian Moran.
It is also written in the third person, rare for a Holmes story.
A gasogene was a two-globed late Victorian device for producing sparkling water or other such carbonated beverages; the liquid was placed in the bottom and a mixture of tartaric acid and bi-carbonate of soda at the top. You tipped it slightly to start the process going. They had a habit of exploding under pressure, so were in a wire or wicker mesh to stop glass flying around if they did.
Cardinal Mazarin (1602-1661) was Chief Minister to Louis XIII and XIV from 1642 until his death. Succeeding Cardinal Richelieu of The Three Musketeers fame, he proved a hugely effective diplomat, playing a key role in the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, whose principles of national sovereignty remain key to modern international relations.
He acquired a massive art, literature and jewel collection as well, leaving eighteen diamonds called "the Mazarins" to Louis XIV on his death.
Air guns with a pellet discharge of under 12ft/lb are today legal to own in the UK without a licence - anything over that is legally a firearm and regulated as such i.e. licences are needed.
A gudgeon is one of many small bottom-dwelling fish.
Algeria had been gradually conquered by France between 1830 and 1903, become an integral part of the country; something most colonies did not have happen to them. It also gained a very large number of European settlers.
"Train-de-luxe" referred to a train exclusively made up of CIWL carriages, all of which were pretty luxurious with the obvious exception of the dedicated luggage vans. The Orient Express was one such train for much of its history.
"It's a fair cop" is a British slang expression meaning "it was wrong and you caught me fairly".

Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a 1000 years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken & we live again! We are defenders of the night, we are #Gargoyles!
Happy 30th Anniversary🌙

I knew this rang a bell! Devil's Foot, it turns out.
Sterndale sprang to his feet. "I believe that you are the devil himself!" he cried. Holmes smiled at the compliment.
The Count gave a gesture of resignation. “We give you best, Holmes. I believe you are the devil himself.” “Not far from him, at any rate,” Holmes answered with a polite smile.
He's so pleased to be called a devil
