You're right. None of Conan Doyle's Tales was ever called that. But I just wanted to brag a bit. When I was an avid reader, one of my favorites was Sherlock Holmes. At one time, if you opened a complete collection of Sherlock Holmes tales at random, and started reading, I could within in a sentence or two tell you which tale it was from. I was that familiar with the stories. In fact, you have probably noticed a few figures of speech from Sherlock Holmes tales right here in Dribble.
Just bragging.

To this day, my ideal digs is an apartment like the one I picture Holmes occupying on Baker Street. I'd even appreciate having my own:
They consisted of a couple of comfortable bedrooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows.

I'd also be well served by my own Mrs. Hudson, who would not only keep my living space in as much order as she could but also who would screen my visitors.
You, Chuck, would always be welcome! In fact, you are invited to serve as my Dr. Watson. Elementary!
I'm no expert on A. C. Doyle, but I have read a few volumes and have enjoyed Basil Rathbone's portrayal of the great sleuth on the silver screen.
There is a wealth of information online about Holmes. He's a fictional character with enduring appeal -- I wish reading was a more popular pasttime for young people; if it were, I'm certain Holmes would be inspiring the current generation as he did yours and mine.
Let's talk about this when we get together again. And let's do that soon, my friend.
