Who drives Watson to the station in the final problem?
Watson did not take the first nor second cab, but he was driven to Victoria station in a brougham driven by none other than Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older brother.
Did Sherlock Holmes have friends?
His brother, Mycroft. Sherlock Holmes had one brother. His name was Mycroft Holmes. He was smarter than Sherlock, but did not like moving around the way Sherlock always did. Sherlock Holmes's grandmother was the sister of the French painter, Vernet. Towards the beginning of 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' we find this passage: At the time of which I speak, Holmes had been back for some months, and I, at his request, had sold my practice and returned to share the old quarters in Baker Street. A young doctor, named Verner, had purchased my small Kensington practice, and given with astonishingly little demur the highest price that I ventured to ask - an incident which only explained itself some years later, when I found that Verner was a distant relation of Holmes', and that it was my friend who had really found the money.
What are 4 interesting things about Sherlock Holmes?
There's the story that he says "Elementary, my dear Watson" when he never even utters those words. There's the myth that he always wears a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape, but, in the original stories, he is only shown in those clothes in two stories requiring travel. Then there's the stereotype that Watson is a short, fat, old man. But he's not that much older than Sherlock Holmes, and he was actually an army doctor, which actually requires him to be quite fit. He's better described as "stocky".
Was Sherlock Holmes lazy?
Sherlock Holmes did describe himself as being very lazy but his brother was even more lazy than he was.
What do you associate Sherlock Holmes always having or wearing?
Well, other than his sidekick Watson, I always associate Sherlock Holmes with having a pipe, magnifying glass, and wearing a deerstalker hat. :)His iconic costume was a deerstalker hat and an Inverness cape, however he was rarely drawn wearing them (By Sidney Paget)

Who hated the Turkish bath?
If you are asking about the Sherlock Holmes stories, no one "hates" the Turkish bath. In 'The Adventure of Lady Frances Carfax,' Holmes asked Watson why he preferred "the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article" while in 'The Adventure of the Illustrious Client,' both Holmes and Watson had a "weakness for the Turkish Bath."
Why is Watson's wife no longer referred to in the later Sherlock Holmes stories?
After Watson and Holmes meet in 'The Adventure of the Empty House,' Watson writes the following: "In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words." We are left to assume that he is referring to his late wife who is indeed never mentioned again.
Who does John marry in Sherlock Holmes?
Dr. John Watson marries at least twice throughout the stories, and, due to a couple of contradictory statements, some people have speculated that he was married more than twice. Regardless of how many marriages, the only wife named is Mary Morstan who was Sherlock Holmes' client in 'The Sign of Four.'
Is there still a Sherlock Holmes show?
The Sherlock Holmes TV Show which is considered the best finished years ago after the actor who portrayed Holmes, Jeremy Brett passed away. There is at least 1 Sherlock Holmes TV show on at the moment. It's called Sherlock. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson. It is a modern adaptation, set in 21st century London. Series 2 will be coming to BBC1 soon. I recommend it. It's very good, some people even think it may be better than the Jeremy Brett version. Also an American TV broadcaster called CBS are planning on making a modern Sherlock Holmes. Obviously they didn't copy the idea at ALL.
