Letters From Watson Liveblog - Apr. 1

The Blue Carbuncle, Part 3

Holmes using a bet to get information has always been one of my favorite fun moments in the stories.

And while I don't want to keep making comparisons to the Granada version, I do want to say it includes funny little added bits of Watson egging Holmes on to give him the money he's owed which aren't in the original. I'll just link to the whole episode, in case anyone wants to watch it.

It seems the 'Pink 'un' was a football newspaper at the time, though I'm not quite sure how someone's whiskers are a good indicator of their propensity to make bets, unless there's some sort of football related facial hair history I'm unaware of.

Why did he even use an alias? I feel like he'd probably get more information out of Breckenridge if he revealed he was Mrs. Oakshott's brother instead of just some random guy.

In the Granada version, Holmes does this weird thing where he teases Ryder towards him and then moves his own hands up to a light where he produces the carbuncle from out of his sleeves or something, an unnecessary but much more theatrical move than just taking it out of a strongbox.

Would the case against Horner not drop regardless since the police aren't even onto Ryder? Then again, it's been a few days since the theft and I guess Horner's still locked up despite the fact he didn't steal anything, so who knows.

That poor goose. It was going to die no matter what, but at least it would have died with its dignity intact.

Oh, this answers my question. Ryder would have testified against Horner then, so that's why his being gone would set Horner free.

A very thoughtful ending to this story, and one that is certainly in the holiday spirit. It's another great example of Holmes breaking the law to save someone, even if in this case the criminal is very much in the wrong. Although I would have liked to know how Holmes was going to explain the theft to the police, but oh well.

"The Adventure of the Yellow Face"? With a name like that, I'm sure it's going to be a fun and lighthearted Sherlock Holmes mystery adventure! Can't wait.

Watson, you sell out. Where's your journalistic integrity? Using Holmes' image like that. And for an American sponsor as well!

What a fun image though. Holmes sure looks pleased.

Sherlock Holmes: Adventures of the Blue Carbuncle

Watson visits his friend Holmes at Christmas time and finds him contemplating a battered old hat, brought to him by the commissionaire Peterson after the hat and a Christmas goose had been dropped by a man in a scuffle with some street ruffians. Peterson takes the goose home to eat, but later returns to Holmes with a blue carbuncle his wife had found in the bird’s crop (throat). Holmes makes some interesting deductions concerning the owner of the hat from simple observations of its condition, conclusions amply confirmed when an advertisement for the owner produces the man himself: Henry Baker. Holmes cannot resist such an intriguing mystery, and he and Watson set out across the city to determine exactly how the jewel, stolen from the Countess of Morcar during her stay at a hotel, wound up in a goose’s crop. The man who dropped the goose, Mr. Henry Baker, comes to reclaim his hat in response to Holmes’ advertisement. Holmes drops hints about how he saved the innards of the goose, but Baker fails to respond to them, simply saying that he is afraid goose remains are not much use. He does, however, give Holmes valuable information, eventually leading him to the conclusive stage of his investigation, at Covent Garden. Holmes offers a fresh goose to Henry Baker, who responds with gladness and departs, whereupon Holmes tells Watson that Baker is eliminated from the suspect list as he obviously knows nothing about the carbuncle. At Covent Garden, a salesman named Breckinridge gets angry with Holmes, complaining about all the people who have pestered him about geese sold recently to the landlord of the Alpha Inn. Clearly, someone else knows that the carbuncle was in a goose and is looking for the bird.
