"numerous candles did something" [HOUN]
We equate gas lamps with Sherlock Holmes — even electric lights. But we don't often think about the number of candles in the stories.
More than the number: the role played by many candles. While they may seem like simple wax objects that provide illumination, in Sherlock Holmes's case, they often provided a very different kind of illumination. It's just a Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
