On Wednesday 4th March 1885 the Portsmouth Evening News 'Lost' section contained a notice from a 'Mrs Sherlock Holm' of Southsea. I wonder if this name inspired Doyle as he cast his eye across the paper that morning. #sherlock

#lawsky we have a summer associate whose name is "Shayna" (& she is a very nice shayna maydel) and I never feel more like I the reincarnation of my old Jewish grandparents than when I hear myself saying "how's everything going, Shayna?" "Did you have a good time at the event, Shayna?" etc.

"thought, busy thought! too busy for my peace! Through the dark postern of time long elapsed Led softly, by the stillness of the night Led like a murderer (and such it proves) Strays (wretched rover) o'er the pleasing past and finds all desert now; and meets the ghosts Of my departed joys"
