“a charming coquettish intimacy” [3GAB]

The final installment in this season's Masters Class is another Christopher Morley essay, "Watson à la Mode," from Vol. 1 No. 1 of The Baker Street Journal (1946).
We discuss Morley's keen analysis of Watson's eye for fashion and an extraordinary conclusion about his marriages. It's just a Trifle.
Oh, and we've issued a challenge to Trifles Patreon supporters, due before the next issue drops. A prize awaits!
