Re: Granada: Yes, I know "his incredible untidiness", "he was the neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also he affected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was none the less in his personal habits one of the most untidy men that ever drove a fellow-lodger to distraction", but I've felt that, as Holmes would only get to doing his filing and indexing three or four times a year, that he would then mercurially toss them about the room? That's stupid, the one thing Holmes is not. Nor do I believe, as in "Wisteria Lodge" that Holmes would toss evidence at a crime scene. Funny, yes. Holmes-like? No.
