Ah, but the Holmes stories were written over a period of 40 years, I think, and it wasn't something Conan Doyle was particularly enthused about. It's still amusing though, that a set of stories about a character who puts stock in the fine details has so many blatant errors - Mrs. Watson addressing her husband by the wrong name, three Moriarty brothers all named James, Inspector Lestrade and his boat cannon....
