sherlock holmes book canon - adventures

[cimorene]

Every now and then I got a cosy domestic vibe from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but Holmes is still much less warm and cuddly than after the return. I am satisfied with setting the first time after "The Empty House", or maybe a couple of cases afterwards. Still, some of the funniest short-stories are in that volume, possibly destined never to be watched again since I'm still not positive whether I want to buy the Jeremy Brett versions, starring as they do The Wrong Watson, not Edward Hardwicke but that other guy, whatever his name was. "The Speckled Band" is particularly domestic (though I'm not otherwise a fan - ACD is at his weakest, IMO, when he tries to introduce the exotic), and also the introductory scenes of "The Noble Bachelor" and "The Beryl Coronet".
