“the name of a young woman, Watson” [SUSS]
Here's a strange one. We hear of the Matilda Briggs in one story. Do you know which story and what it was associated with?
This entry in our Travel Series takes us on a mysterious sea voyage that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write a short story and then borrow a real name from this true tale and plant it in Sherlock Holmes story. What as the connection? Well, that's just a Trifle.
