“T
O Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have
seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In
his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex.”
Watson reports all emotions were abhorrent to Holmes’s cold,
precise but admirably balanced mind. “And yet there was but
one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of
dubious and questionable memory.”
“He used to make merry over the cleverness of women,
but I have not heard him do it of late,” wrote Watson. Might
the events of this memorable case lend themselves to another
interpretation? Join us to hear new insights concerning Holmes’s
relationship with the beautiful, thirty year-old New Jerseyborn contralto as Richard Olken, BSI, reveals the true facts
surrounding the mysterious events at Briony Lodge.
THE
HOPE
CLUB
E
stablished in 1875 by a group of fifteen gentlemen from
Providence, the Hope Club was chartered by the state of Rhode
Island in 1876 “for the purposes of social and literary culture.” For
more than 130 years the Hope Club has maintained a well-established
tradition of excellence.
The Hope Club’s culinary staff offers an unrivalled menu. The Club’s
guest rooms and suites, well appointed and lavishly detailed, provide
a delightful alternative to nearby hotels. A virtual tour of the Club is
