DREAM REALM ENTERPRISES PRESENTS

Episode Two

The Misadventure of the Substitute Secretary

Written by Vince Stadon

Christmas, 1894: As Dr Watson is feeling lovelorn and melancholy, Mr Sherlock Holmes is conducting bloody forensic experiments.  How does this connect to a surprise visitor, a brutal murder, and the reappearance of an infamous spectral hound?

“The Hound of the Baskervilles”

 Placement  

This Misadventure takes place on December 24/25 1894.  In “the Canon”, this places it between “The Norwood Builder” and “Wisteria Lodge”-- if agreement can be reached as to where WIST is placed, which, frankly, is unlikely.

 Of  Singular Interest?

*How many wives did Watson have?

*Why were so many of Holmes’s young and attractive female clients named “Violet”?

*Why was Holmes absent for most of “The Hound of the Baskervilles”?

*How do you pronounce “Lestrade”?
