The Boscombe Valley Mystery
This is the fourth short story published.
Paddington, the main London hub of the Great Western Railway, continues to remain a very nice station indeed.
A valise is another name for a suitcase
Boscombe Valley is fictituous, but Ross-on-Wye is real. Holmes and Watson would have taken around 4 hours 45 minutes to travel there by direct train from London.
The 1891 Bradshaw includes a ten-minute break at Swindon, where Watson could get some lunch from the station refreshment room.
Ross-on-Wye in fact lost its railway service in 1964 as part of the "Beeching Axe", the 1960s mass culling of British railway lines, named after the then British Railways Chairman, Dr. Richard Beeching, although most of the actual closures happened after he left.
However, you could get today get there in under four hours from Baker Street, with an hourly bus from Cheltenham. The line to Cheltenham is not electrified, but the trains are bi-mode and operate on overhead electric power for part of their route.
Sidney Paget's illustrations here gave birth to the whole "deerstalker" image. Blame or thank him for that.
All inquests (a formal judicial process investigating an unexplained death or deaths) were at this time done with juries and they could indict someone until 1977.
James McCarthy will be sitting in prison for a month or two pending the next court session. If convicted, he would likely have been executed - or reprieved within a month of that.
Bit odd that Lestrade is working this on his own initiative - does the Met not trust the local detectives?
"Deserts" means what someone deserves. It has become corrupted to "just desserts" over the decades - the term has nothing to do with sweets.
A registry office is a local government-run facility you go to for registering births and deaths; they also conduct civil weddings.
Ballarat is indeed in Australia and a popular filming location.
"Cooee" originates from the Dharug language used by Australian Aboriginal people around Sydney. The language is endangered because of the impact of colonialism, but an atttempt is being made to revive it.
Insulin was not discovered until 1921; at the time, there was no effective treatment for diabetes, in either version.

Bosc reference sheet! I had trouble with his color palette, since I wanted to keep it somewhat realistic. I turned the Savannah Monitor orange into red, or else it would have been pretty dull, I think. I forgot to add any markings to his tail, but I assume the red spots would just continue down his spine. Or his tail will be striped like my example monitors in the corner. I guess we’ll see. I’m too lazy to change it atm.
