Did Sherlock Holmes ever say- elementary my dear Watson?

Sherlock HolmesThis is a common misconception, actually. Not once did Sherlock say these words.In the story The Crooked Man, Holmes says: "Elementary," and he often addresses Dr. Watson as, "My dear Watson." Personally, I believe that this quote probably came from one of the early plays or episodes of Sherlock Holmes, and so now everyone naturally associates it with him. (Just a theory, though.)

He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late.

What was the game according to Sherlock Holmes?

I'm guessing you're referring to the quote "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!" I love that quote! But anyway, yeah Holmes considered the mystery and the chase--the final point of suspense--as a game, a dangerous game in which he also won. Lol this is random but--I also like this quote, because it applies to me when I'm writing my books and so is helpful as well as funny-- "Cut out the poetry, Watson." ---Susan
