“not the name of a young woman, Watson” [SUSS]
Here's a strange one. We hear of the Matilda Briggs
in one story. Do you know which story and what it was associated
with?
This entry in our Travel Series takes us on a mysterious sea
voyage that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write a short story and
then borrow a real name from this true tale and plant it in
Sherlock Holmes story. What as the connection? Well, that's just a
Trifle.
