No. As long as people were interesting or offered interesting cases, class didn't matter to him.
By my count, Sherlock Holmes said that phrase 88 times in 35 of the 60 stories, and he wrote it as a salutation for a letter three more times. The list of stories would indeed be a long one. By the way, Holmes only said the word 'elementary' six times, and he wrote it twice though he never said: "Elementary, my dear Watson."

To answer your question, according to the stories the Great Hiatus, as it is called in Sherlockiana, lasted from May 1891 until April 1894 or about three years. In the real world, 'The Final Problem' (the story in which Holmes was thought to have died) was published in published in December 1893 while 'The Adventure of the Empty House' (the story in which Holmes reappeared) was published in October 1903 with 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' told in the past tense was published in 1901 and 1902. ------ Yes the author brought Holmes back. The reason he brought him back was because there was a great outcry from his fans and bunches of letters pleading for the author to bring him back. The reason the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed Sherlock in the first place was because the book originally was just a side project and after a while of writing Sherlock Holmes stories Doyle began hating Sherlock.
