    Nope. But I've always been a big Sherlock Holmes fan. Have you read it, bounty? Is it worth reading?

    ive not read it chester...i do like the idea of it. i understand its a short story.

    if youre interested, ive recently come across some sherlock holmes pastiches, by an author named laurie king. her books would probably upset some die hard holmes fans but ive found myself liking them...

    Hoping you find the manuscript...

    thanks tailor---the video was cute by way of "the little grey cells" which is phrase Poirot likes to use.

    the article was enjoyable too---although I wouldn't bet the farm on the snippet julian Symons presents as evidence.

    I did see however that he turned it into a short story!

    "1901 "Did Sherlock Holmes Meet Hercule-?" Short Story by Julian Symons in ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE Mid Dec 1987 Sherlock Holmes meets Poirot who is posing as the Chef of a French Diplomat."

    https://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/...nch%20Diplomat.

    and I just found this and saved it for later:
