If Basil and Dandelion could have children what do you think theyd look like? I love the imagery I get of little scruffy haired devils. :)

I have an answer for this actually! Their name is Wisteria (Wist for short). They are the product of the unlikely scenerio of Basil convincing Dandelion to raise a child with him and the universe going “yeah sure okay here you go”. They are a bright and extremely chaotic gremlin with a lot of heart.

Wisteria Lodge

Our third story from His Last Bow - we've already done "The Dying Detective" and "The Cardboard Box".

This was published in two parts in The Strand.

Take a note of the Watsonian date here because this will be important later.

A reply-paid telegram was one where the sender also paid for the cost of any reply, up to a certain word limit (48 words for inland telegrams in the 1896 Post Office Guide).

You could send a telegram at most bigger post offices, or you could complete a pre-paid form and put it in a post box.

"Toilet" had a definition of the style of one's appearance.

Eccles is from Lee, which we've visited already in "The Man with The Twisted Lip" and which I discuss in my post for that.

Esher is today a town of around 7,000 people but part of a larger built-up area, thirteen miles from Charing Cross. While sitting outside the Greater London boundary in Surrey, the urban sprawl of London does not match the administrative boundaries and Esher is on the outer edge of this. You can in fact hit some serious countryside while staying within the city limits.

It also sat outside the Metropolitan Police District.

The town was historically a stagecoach stop on the London to Portsmouth road, which later become the A3 before that was diverted via a bypass around the town. It is home to the Sandown Park racecourse and George Harrison lived there for a while.

The railway station, then called Esher and Claremont (the latter being a Lancelot "Capability" Brown-designed mansion, then owned by a widowed daughter-in-law of Queen Victoria, her youngest son Prince Leopold having died due to haemophilia after a fall in 1884) is on the mainline from Waterloo to Weymouth - Aldershot being a bit further along on a branch line. It takes around half an hour to get there by modern electric train; only suburban services stop there, with express trains going straight through the disused centre platforms.

Spain, as a major power (even if most of its empire had already gone) and a monarchy, warranted an Embassy. San Pedro only would have had a legation.

There's quite a bit of racism in this one!

Some pictures of dog-grates can be found here.

Doors on many trains could be opened from the inside at the time, including on the move with the associated risks involved.

War crimes trials were not really a thing at this time.

Yet another case of the villains dying off-page!

The broad plot of this would not be out of place in a modern crime drama.

There is NO WAY an AI-GENERATED graphic novel has over 4 stars on Goodreads have some fucking standards

For context, Wist: A Graphic Novel by Steve M. Robertson is a graphic novel where all the art was generated by Midjourney and then "tweaked" by the artist in photoshop. He wrote the story, but all the art is AI-generated. This is not a secret, he actively talks about it on his tiktok. It's actually insane that it has such high ratings, because when you read the reviews, they amount to: "story is lacking something but amazing art" when the art is the part that is not his!

I usually don't advocate for no one to read a book, everyone has their own taste and I think even objectively bad (technically and morally) books can have value, but please don't read this book. We are fighting so hard to save artists from AI, and it disgusts me that an author, who would probably take offense at an AI-written book, used a program that is well-known to steal art instead of finding and paying a real artist out of so many talented ones out there.

Something about Aloysius Garcia and Spanish names

Watson in his last letter started "The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge", story published in two parts, and this letter belongs to "The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles". This story can be found in Spanish as "La aventura del pabellón Wisteria" or "La aventura de Wisteria Lodge".

There are a lot of queer (?) flags about John Scott Eccles and his infatuation with the friendly and handsome foreigner Aloysius Garcia, of Spanish descent.

Considering that in Spain there are many languages beside Spanish, one could try to guess more about his origins looking at his name. Sometimes the same name developed a different pronunciation and/or spelling in each region of Spain like Jorge-Jordi or Javier-Xavier-Xabier.

García (/ɡaɾˈθi.a/ in Spain, /ɡaɾˈsi.a/ in Latin America) is a name and patronimic surname and the most common last name in Spain. There are many variants of García like Garcés or Gacía but this is the most common in all Spain, also very common in Latin America and Philippines. This surname is so old that there are records of his use in 789 CE.

Aloysius is the latin version of Ludwig. There are many variants of this name, so if one wanted something more Spaniard (?) the name could be Luis, Aloísio (Spanish), Loís (Aragonese), Lluis (Asturian), Lluís, Ludovic (Catalan, Valencian), Lois (Galician), Koldobikaa or Koldo (Basque). If his parents wanted something similar to an English name Luis is the better option because its pronunciation /ˈlwis/ is similar to Louis or Lewis (/ˈluːi/ or /ˈluːɪs/).

Maybe that's why the first time I read this story many years ago the character felt like a generic hispanic-latino-idk man.

Friendly reminder that I'm not from Spain, but Spanish is my first languaje, so maybe there are some details missing.

do wist and dandelion do any bonding activities while basil isn't in hell or do the dads have a different arrangement over child support? lol

Dandelion and Wist absolutely raids Dandelion's closet and plays dress up. Otherwise Basil has definite "absolutely fucking not" rules for when he not around lol. How much Dandelion abides by them entirely depends on his mood.
