“Is Mrs. Watson in?” [FINA] 

 
We all know Watson had more than one wife; the number has been debated over the years. But it's his second wife that seems to be the most intriguing.
 
In this "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist" episode, we look at David Hammer's article from Baker Street Miscellanea, No. 43. Who was the second Mrs. Watson? It's just a Trifle.
