“numerous candles did something” [HOUN]
We equate gas lamps with Sherlock Holmes — even electric
lights. But we don't often think about the number of candles in the
stories.
More than the number: the role played by many candles. While
they may seem like simple wax objects that provide illumination, in
Sherlock Holmes's case, they often provided a very different kind
of illumination. It's 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.
