“over many nations and three separate continents” [SIGN]
We all know about Mary Morstan from The Sign of Four,
of her marriage to Watson, and of Watson's "sad bereavement" after
Sherlock Holmes returned from his hiatus in "The Empty
House."
But there is evidence in a number of stories to show that
Watson has been married more than once. Evidence from scholars such
as Baring-Gould, Bell, Blakeney, Brend, Bristowe (and that's just
the B's!), as well as Roberts, Sayers, Simpson, and others. But
exactly how many marriages were there? You may be startled to hear
how many we identify. It's just a Trifle.
