“Sorry I’m late. How’s he tonight?”
“The same. Still muttering about tigers and homes, but one mystery is solved. A Mrs. Hudson stopped by. His  former landlady. She said he lost his best friend and his wife last year.”
“No wonder he worked himself sick!”
“If this fever doesn’t break soon—“
“Oh, don’t talk like that. He’ll pull through.”

Oh, poor Watson.

Yes. One theory is that 1892 is the right date, but Holmes was a figment of Watson's grief-stricken mind.

One theory is that 1892 is the right date, but Holmes was a figment of Watson's grief-stricken mind. It's an oddly plausible theory. It's such a strange story - the main thing being that Baynes solves the case entirely on his own; he doesn't really need Holmes to assist.

Yes, all very true.

I love that we work harder to fix chronology discrepancies than Doyle ever did.

Also true. He said 'these little things happen' and went on about his fairy business.
