A few notes for a Holmes world

• A Study in Scarlet, part I, chapter 1: the narrator is John H. Watson, a doctor who served at Maiwand. Murray helped him reach the British lines. Watson says he was hit in the shoulder by a Jezail bullet. Stamford introduces the possibility of sharing rooms with Sherlock Holmes.
• The Sign of the Four, chapter 1: Watson describes a Jezail wound in his leg. Keep the two wound descriptions open; the passages do not establish that they refer to the same injury.
• The Man with the Twisted Lip: Watson’s wife offers to send “James” to bed. If we decide to interpret James as his first name and allow only one first name, check that interpretation against the name John.
• The Final Problem: Watson concludes that Holmes died at Reichenbach. The Empty House: Holmes returns and describes his escape. Keep Watson’s earlier conclusion inspectable when accepting the later account.
