But the pearls don'...Mary was bad at arithmetic. But the pearls don't lie, and don't mis-calculate, and there were 6 of them. Hence 1887. There is also the indisputable evidence of "The Noble Bachelor," which places Watson's marriage in November 1887, fitting with the engagement in SIGN that occurred in July 1887. The drifting apart from Holmes over months subsequent to the marriage fits with SCAN, March 1888. It seems quite improbable that another marriage might be squeezed into this timeline. And in fact, Holmes was not moping about on drugs in or about the time of SCAN as Watson imagines, but was in fact very active in his business, assisting royalty and such. It is Watson's wishful thinking that projects "drug induced dreams" onto Holmes after Watson's abandonment. So say I. And I am not a member of the patriarchy, BTW. pbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070008311457312502noreply@blogger.com
