We are talking about detective stories. Those who read them may fancy themselves as detectives, too. Little details become clues, a collection of clues becomes a theory, and arguing over theories becomes a mad obsession we now call the "Sherlockians".

Then again, there are those who imagine him running along fog-shrouded London streets with a clay pipe dangling from his lips whilst wearing a loud chequered cloak and deerstalker cap, then think of themselves as knowledgeable fans.

I've been to 221B Baker Street a number of times, it's but a few minutes walk from Marylebone.
