As everyone says, Brett was Holmes, no doubt.
Last time I visited London, I went to the recreation of Holmes’ flat at 221B Baker St. It’s just around the block from the Baker Street tube station. They have done a terrific job with all the furnishings and atmosphere that Conan Doyle described, right down to the Persian slipper of tobacco hanging from the mantle. I was prepared to be disappointed in what could easily be a tourist trap but somebody did a most credible job in the recreation.
(At the time of the novels/stories 221B Baker St. did not exist, but they have since sandwiched it in on Baker Street.)
ENVIOUS!!!
KEWL!!!
