1. I suspect the latter really though we know our Sherlock is always clever!
2. I thought it was neat and soounded like something old DEAD Moriarty might do just to piss off Holmes. It certainly kept Holmes from knowing who he was and made sure that the cab driver mostly remembered that he had driven Sherlock Holmes.
3. It seems a bit different than before because we are seeing it sort of from Baskerville's eyes and he seems truly impressed and perhaps a bit depressed by what he sees. We are told again and again how gloomy the moors are.
4. You know, I can't decide. It's almost like it muddies the waters a bit.
5. Love cliffies especially when I know I get to read more soon! Was The Hound the story he came up with in the challenge with Oscar Wilde? I can't seem to remember right now!
Hi! I never need an excuse to re-read Holmes, but it's nice to have one!
Brief replies (man, it's going to be hard to avoid spoilers)
1. Holmes is a gentleman and I think the clerk responds to authority as would be expected. 2. It's a challenge, and meant to show he's clever. It's no fun being clever unless someone as clever as you acknowledges it. 3. I love the trips, going from one means of transit to another, the descriptions of the countryside, and of the moors. 4. It would have upped it for the original audience I think. Not so much for me, although I did feel sorry for the isolated farmsteads. *shiver* 5. Sobbing women in the night give me Jane Eyre flashbacks. I want to see the dog, I do. I really do. Cliffhangers and dangling plots make more sense if you read them like this comm is, in tune with the way they were originally published, serially. It feels a bit jumpy if you're reading straight through.
