“gazing with great reverence at the famous detective” [HOUN]
When Sherlock Holmes describes himself to Watson, he says that
he's a consulting detective, and then goes on to differentiate
himself from two other kinds of detectives.
What did it take to become a detective, and why was Holmes
different? And what other terms did he and Watson use to describe
his trade along the way? It's just a Trifle.
In a happy coincidence, after we recorded we discovered the
latest meeting of The Shingle of Southsea covered this topic. Link
below.
