By The Fireplace By Vladimir Dashkevich From The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes And Dr. Watson Played

“By the Fireplace” by Vladimir Dashkevich from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson played by me on kalimba

"But there can be no grave for Sherlock Holmes or Doctor Watson... Shall they not always live in Baker Street? Are they not there this moment, as one writes?

So they still live for all that love them well; in a romantic chamber of the heart, in a nostalgic country of the mind, where it is always 1895."

-Vincent Starrett, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

For homeboys running around in the 1800 there's a sure lot of flirting, invading personal space and touching going on.
