“this quick succession of strange
surprises” [SIGN]
There are some trifles that are too trifling to stand on their
own. Then again, Burt and Scott tend to have the ability to stretch
out any bit of minutiae into an exposition.
Three topics came to our attention lately, and we felt they
were deserving of a quick discussion: the seven schemes in "The
Missing Three-Quarter," the size of the dog in "The Lion's Mane,"
and a questionable denial in "The Red-Headed League." Taken
together or separately, they're just a Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us
know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the
air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.

You know the plots, but what about the minutiae? We delve into the Sherlock Holmes stories and provide answers to questions that arise, clarify muddy details, and look into some of the period terminology in this weekly podcast.
