Greg Wagland is indeed an extraordinarily fine actor, but I cannot let this remark pass without mentioning the equally fine Hugh Fraser, of Agatha Christie fame. He creates dozens of completely credible female characters, the most astonishing being Jane Wilkinson in "Lord Edgware Dies".

Of course Holmes gets out of his chores by distracting Watson with his kryptonite, a good story.

The combination of Conan-Doyle's lucid prose and Greg's superb reading make this a rare treat. Thank you.

Think of the misled = myzled problem.

*Watson:* _(narrating)_ An anomaly which often struck me in the character of my friend Sherlock Holmes was that, although in his methods of thought he was the neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also he affected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was nonetheless in his personal habits one of the most untidy men that ever drove a fellow-lodger to distraction. But, of course, I could not blame him for it, for his current form had made him heavily reliant on people for his daily needs. I would've pitied poor Mrs. Hudson if she had been doting on him long before my arrival. *Reginald Musgrave:* _(recounting)_ “So!" said I. “This is how you repay the trust which we have reposed in you. You will leave my service tomorrow.” *Salem Saberhagen:* _(as Holmes)_ Good on you, Reggie! Turn your back for a few minutes, and the hired help will start sneaking coal into the fire. All 'cuz their "assets are frozen." Pah! Next thing they'll be pickin' your- *Musgrave:* Ahem. I am not yet finished, Holmes. *Salem:* Okay... So how did the creep take it? *Musgrave:* He bowed with the look of a man who is utterly crushed, and slunk past me without a word. *Salem:* He-he-he... _(Musgrave stares at Salem, who quickly subsides.)_ At the end: *Salem:* Watson, you've seen photos showing me back to when I was human. You think that, if it wasn't a rusty pile of scrap, that crown would've looked good on me? *Watson:* I've yet to measure the circumference of your head in human form. For now, I'm free to imagine you trying to exit through the cat door while wearing it. That is, if you can _find_ the door with it on. *Salem:* Mean! By the way, you've mispronounced "Juan." Plus, that's not the British way of saying "Ralph." ;p

I was listening to this in Czech ...to learn it (Czech) so I thought it wise to know the story in my own language.

It's kind of an experiment. I'm also watching videos in Czech. Medivek and Pelíšky are great movies if anyone is interested. Watching with Czech subtitles is better. Studies have been done that say you learn almost nothing with subtitles in your mother tongue.

I read the Adventure of 'The Musgrave Ritual' has been dated to Thusday June 23rd 1881. The month before 'A Study in Scarlet' (July 16th 1881). Does any SH officinardo know if those are the dates of publication in 'The Strand Magazine'? As there is a later publication date of 1893 which may be in the 2nd collection book entitled 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes'. Wikipedia lists it as originally published in the strand Magazine 1893.This is where I got my 1881 reference from: bakerstreet.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Sherlock_HolmesOf about 25 other references about the publication date, it was the only one listing the date as 1881.

Look up Don Juan in the OED. Two pronunciations for Don Juan. Two pronunciations. Byron wrote the poem Don Juan. He anglicises the pronunciation, as here. The eponymous poem was known by all - Don Juan. In Byron's poem it's pronounced "Don Joo-un." We know that because of how the poem scans. Here is an example of how he rhymes it. Mine's Johnson, and my comrade's Juan The other two are women, and the third Is neither man nor woman.' The chief threw on The party a slight glance, then said, 'I have heard Your name before, the second is a new one:.... It isn't rhymed like 'wan'. English knowledge of Don Juan came via Bryon. Byron was huge. This pronunciation is how most 19th century English (and 20th century) would pronounce it, via Byron. That's why I chose to pronounce it the way I did. I hope this helps.
