“toward the Triple Alliance” [NAVA]
When we're introduced to the victim in "Wisteria Lodge," it
happens first by telegram — a telegram he himself signed "John
Scott Eccles." Later, we hear him referred to as "Mr. Scott Eccles"
and "Mr. Eccles."
What are we to make of this? Is it a compound surname, or was
it Watson playing fast and loose with names? John Scott Eccles
isn't the only tripartite character we meet in the Canon, either.
It's just a Trifle.
