A Sherlock Holmes story was never published in the year 1895, but Arthur Conan Doyle did publish The Stark Munro Letters, a wondrously gay account of a genius from the viewpoint of a medical student (theorised to be autobiographical). He early on remarks on the genius’s heroism for jumping 3 stories to save a friend….

He lives with a little old lady who takes care of him though is sometimes stern and they live in a humble home “over a grocer’s shop.”

“There
were, I remember, only two chairs in the sitting-room;“

“he had been rash
in the use of powerful drugs“

and it goes on

This is it. This is it. Sherlock Holmes was a real man but by another name, and Arthur Conan Doyle was in love with him.

this is the ‘ongoing theme’.. the elephant in the room. Watson and Holmes literally confirmed.

The med student in love with the genius.

Letters:  “When I woke next morning he was in
my room, and a funny-looking object he was.  His
dressing-gown lay on a chair, and he was putting up
a fifty-six pound dumb-bell, without a rag to cover
him.“

“Perhaps there is another Cullingworth
behind the scenes ­a softer, tenderer
man, who can love and invite love.”

“I am looking forward
immensely to seeing him again“

“And yet you know
the feeling that you get when a man smiles with his
lips and not with his eyes“
