「As I glanced round I was surprised at the universality of the man’s interests. Here was a case of ancient coins. There was a cabinet of flint instruments. Behind his central table was a large cupboard of fossil bones. Above was a line of plaster skulls with such names as “Neanderthal,” “Heidelberg,” “Cro-Magnon” printed beneath them. It was clear that he was a student of many subjects. 」
「I remember the date very well, for it was in the same month that Holmes refused a knighthood for services which may perhaps some day be described…… I repeat, however, that this enables me to fix the date, which was the latter end of June, 1902, shortly after the conclusion of the South African War. 」
這兒提到 1902 年結束的南非戰爭是「第二次波耳戰爭」。真實歷史中,那時柯南道爾已經靠著福爾摩斯成為知名作家;他以醫師的本行親自參戰,擔任軍醫而受封爵士,也是柯南道爾爵士(Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle)名號中「爵士(Sir)」的由來。
對照如此明確的日期,令人愈想愈不對勁。與尼安德塔人並列的「Heidelberg」顯然指的是 Homo heidelbergensis ,但是第一件海德堡人化石要等到 1907 年才在德國出土,更早的 1902 年絕不可能存在石膏複製品,被福爾摩斯與華生見到。
40 歲那年,他又陷入躁期:具攻擊性、亢奮少睡、躁動不寧、被害妄想,並且無法控制心中怒火。住進土耳其科尼亞研究暨訓練醫院(Konya Research and Training Hospital)前,他理應每日服用情緒穩定劑lamotrigine和valproic acid,以及抗精神病藥物risperidone。然而最末項,卻被他自行停藥。醫師決定保留前二者,再加上口服的抗精神病藥物aripiprazole,稍後又將其改為同成份的長效型肌肉注射。[1]
