The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

Mrs. Hudson has been roused, she retorted on me, and I on you.

Then Watson’s like ‘what is it, a fire?’, which is hilarious considering Holmes really took his time waking him up. But I guess fire might be a common occurrence at 221B what with all the cigarettes thrown everywhere.

The original text in “The Speckled Band” was ““Very sorry to knock you up, Watson, but it’s the common lot this morning. Mrs. Hudson has been knocked up, she retorted upon me, and I on you.”

“What is it, then? A fire?”

“No, a client…Now, when young ladies wander about the metropolis at this hour of the morning, and knock sleepy people up out of their beds, I presume that it is something very pressing which they have to communicate.”

Knocking someone up had a different meaning then, obviously. 

Then again, “roused” isn’t much better.

Mrs. Hudson has been roused, she retorted on me, and I on you.

Jeremy as Watson in The Crucifer of Blood

You all knew that Jeremy Brett once played Dr. John H. Watson complete with army doctor moustache, yes? Charlton Heston starred as Holmes.

Jeremy Brett looking rather dashing.

Good god I’m seriously falling in love with Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock. He’s more manic and explosive than Ben’s haha

tea-at-221b: His Last Bow 1917 Publicity shot of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke for an unfinished episode of Granada’s series. Edit for clarity: This was intially filmed for inclusion in “The Second Stain”( Sherlock reminiscing). Producers thought an entire episode could be created from it and shelved the scene for later use. No episode was ever made, the scenes were never made public and the film was destroyed.
