[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Did he not have the money to live in particularly high style or did he, being Sherlock, think the whole thing preposterous and choose to live as he did/does?[/quote] In the first story, "A Study in Scarlet," Holmes needs someone to split the rent on a set of rooms (two bedrooms and a sitting room) in a house run by a landlady. That suggests that he has limited means. Eventually, he makes enough money from his consulting detective business that he could probably afford better lodgings, but probably doesn't feel like it's worth it to move. [/quote] Ah, just think--had Holmes not had to fund his drug habit he might not have needed a roommate, and we'd have been deprived of Watson--and deprived of Watson's accounts of Holmes's cases.... :wink: [/quote]
