Six Napoleons of Baltimore

Baltimore's ORIGINAL home for students of the master consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.

[Baker Street Journal @BakerStJournal]

'Yes,' he continued, after some turning over of pages, 'he was paid last on May 20th.'
'Thank you,' said Holmes. 'I don't think that I need intrude upon your time and patience any more.' ('The Six Napoleons') https://t.co/I6sewv1glN

'He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson." - #SherlockHolmes in The Final Problem. Napoleon Bonaparte died #OTD in 1821.

Betsy was the inspiration for the 6 Baltimorean Sherlockians in 1946 to choose our name of the Six Napoleons when we were formed,

Heavens to Betsy, it's Elizabeth "Betsy" Bonaparte's birthday! One of America's first international celebrities, she was born in Baltimore #OTD in 1785. Visit the "'Woman of Two Worlds" exhibition- https://t.co/zkrxN4geZU.

Congrats to all the new 2022 members of the Baker Street Irregulars, but a special shout out to Napoleon CCLXX, @philosophymom1, who received the BSI investiture of "Bartholomew Wilson." Well done Karen!

@CupHolmes Once again, we were robbed….

Best wishes to the @shsoclondon on their 70th anniversary today. Hope you can join us for our 75th on Sept. 11th.

When you think about this, you’ll realize this is true…..

[J H Watson Society @JHWatsonSoc]

Fact: Not a single Napoleon survives in the Sherlock Holmes canon. Gosh!

Once again, Doyle kills off one of our faves….

200 years ago, OTD in 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte died on St. Helena, as featured in #ACD's 'How Etienne Gerard Said Good-Bye To His Master' (1903). https://t.co/ALe9zDr0aA

@The6Napoleons @sherlockeditor @CupHolmes There is no question in my mind that SIXN is the best of those episodes. It has everything you could ever want from a Brett Holmes.

[Six Napoleons of Baltimore @The6Napoleons]

@HolmesBooth @sherlockeditor @CupHolmes And apparently overlooked again it seems

@sherlockeditor @CupHolmes Truer words have not been spoken during this competition.

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

@CupHolmes If we lose SIXN at this point, well, my faith in humanity will be... erm, never mind, it's a pandemic year, it's already shot. Carry on. ;-)

[Six Napoleons of Baltimore @The6Napoleons]

We are kinda partial to this story.

[DoingsofDoyle @DoingsofD]

OTD in 1904, Collier's first published #ACD's 'The Adventure of the Six Napoleons,' surely one of the most iconic cases in the Return. https://t.co/AsoG99FbHZ

[Six Napoleons of Baltimore @The6Napoleons]

We cannot disagree with these thoughts....

[Mark Hanson stands with Ukraine @MHanson62]

@The6Napoleons @CupHolmes NAPOLEONS OR BUST! @sherlockeditor

[Six Napoleons of Baltimore @The6Napoleons]

Obviously, we agree with Charles here. A wise man!

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

@CupHolmes How is SIXN not leading?!?! Hands down the best of this bunch and one of the best in the entire series. SIXN should be on the final ballot, the other two should not.

[Six Napoleons of Baltimore @The6Napoleons]

What Charles says.....

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

SIXN not leading this round? That’s just bizarre... and wrong. #sherlockholmes

[Six Napoleons of Baltimore @The6Napoleons]

@CupHolmes Many thanks! Plus it is a very good adaption of this story! #SIXN rules!
