How Watson Learned the Trick (Arthur Conan Doyle, 1924)

Watson had been watching his companion intently ever since he had sat down to the breakfast table. Holmes happened to look up and catch his eye. "Well, Watson, what are you thinking about?" he asked.

"About you."

"Me?"

"Yes, Holmes. I was thinking how superficial are these tricks of yours, and how wonderful it is that the public should continue to show interest in them."

"I quite agree," said Holmes. "In fact, I have a recollection that I have myself made a similar remark."

"Your methods," said Watson severely, "are really easily acquired."

"No doubt," Holmes answered with a smile. "Perhaps you will yourself give an example of this method of reasoning."

"With pleasure," said Watson. "I am able to say that you were greatly preoccupied when you got up this morning."

"Excellent!" said Holmes. "How could you possibly know that?"

"Because you are usually a very tidy man and yet you have forgotten to shave."

"Dear me! How very clever!" said Holmes. "I had no idea, Watson, that you were so apt a pupil. Has your eagle eye detected anything more?"

"Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you have not been successful with his case."

"Dear me, how could you know that?"

"I saw the name outside his envelope. When you opened it you gave a groan and thrust it into your pocket with a frown on your face."

"Admirable! You are indeed observant. Any other points?"

"I fear, Holmes, that you have taken to financial speculation."

"How could you tell that, Watson?"

"You opened the paper, turned to the financial page, and gave a loud exclamation of interest."

"Well, that is very clever of you, Watson. Any more?"

"Yes, Holmes, you have put on your black coat, instead of your dressing gown, which proves that your are expecting some important visitor at once."

"Anything more?"

"I have no doubt that I could find other points, Holmes, but I only give you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you."

"And some not so clever," said Holmes. "I admit that they are few, but I am afraid, my dear Watson, that I must count you among them."

"What do you mean, Holmes?"

"Well, my dear fellow, I fear your deductions have not been so happy as I should have wished."

"You mean that I was mistaken."

"Just a little that way, I fear. Let us take the points in their order: I did not shave because I have sent my razor to be sharpened. I put on my coat because I have, worse luck, an early meeting with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the appointment. The cricket page is beside the financial one, and I turned to it to find if Surrey was holding its own against Kent. But go on, Watson, go on! It 's a very superficial trick, and no doubt you will soon acquire it."

Ich habe alle Kurzgeschichten gelesen; die Romane leider noch nicht. Holmes ist einer meiner absoluten Lieblingscharaktere der Fiktion. Von den Adaptionen gefällt mir wenig; weder die klassischen Verfilmungen, noch z.B. das Downey jr.-Zeug, das zwar nette Actionstreifen hergibt, aber das wars auch. Die Adventures of Sherlock Holmes-Gameserie klingt so, als würde sie die Atmosphäre gut treffen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures ... 8series%29

Habe ein paar der Kurzgeschichten gelesen, weil es die bei uns in der Schulbibliothek auf Englisch gibt. Gesehen habe ich bisher die Downey-Filme, geben wie schon gesagt ganz nette Action-Filme her, die BBC Serie, die ich liebe und die Billy Wilder Adaption "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes", die ich auch sehr mag.

Am besten an den Geschichten sind ja schlicht die Szenen, in denen man aus der Sicht von Watson, dem aufmerksamen Beobachter, detailliert geschildert bekommt wie ein Klient aussieht, auftritt und so weiter, und kurz darauf während Holmes' Analyse klar wird, dass zwar viel erfasst, aber wenig gesehen wurde.

Gelesen habe ich nie etwas davon. Kennen tue ich glaube ich nur den Film mit Downey junior. Den fand ich recht gut. Aber das Grundkonzept des Sherlock Holmes finde ich cool. Ist ja auch einer der Gründe, warum ich Criminal Minds mag.

Zumindest die Abenteuer des Sherlock Holmes sollte man gelesen haben, sonst hat man literaturtechnisch was verpasst.

Ich glaub, ich hab noch Der Hund von Baskervilles in meiner Kindle-Bibliothek, aber da ich nicht gern so viel am PC lese, hab ich das bis jetzt noch nie gelesen. Meine Mutter mag Sherlock Holmes ganz gern.

Puh, einige der Punkte treffen echt auch auf Doyles Holmes zu, aber da sind sie halt feinsinniger geschrieben als in der BBC-Serie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13YlEPwOfmk Watson in Sherlock Holmes Versus Arsène Lupin (2007) war wohl das Vorbild für den Slender Man in den Slender-Games (Start 2012). Wenn man ihn anschaut, ist er auf seinen Platz fixiert. Schaut man weg, und dann wieder zu ihm, steht er plötzlich direkt neben einem.

Holmes könnten all diese Fehlgriffe theoretisch auch passieren, aber sie passieren ihm nie, wieder weil der Autor das nicht will. Coole Demonstration von Plot Armor. --------- Ich hatte irgendwann vor ein paar Monaten die erste Staffel BBC-Sherlock gesehen. Fand das an sich auch ganz nett, aber es stellte sich dann raus, dass ich nicht genug Motivation dazu hatte das weiter zu schauen.
