How many hats do you own?

“I have far too many deerstalker hats, of which only two are even relatively accurate to the… inaccurate portrayal of Holmes, a collection of top hats, bowlers, caps… Goodness, I actually have quite a few hats, but most of them are in London, and I almost never wear them. I wonder what their point is, then? I can’t give a specific number as I don’t generally think of them.”

Besides tea (And alcohol) what do you like to do on days off? Days with no work or cases.

“That largely depends on where I am. I love to read most of all, but I also enjoy wandering through cities, parks, and wooded areas. In England, I take the dogs out for walks and hunting, enjoy swimming, jogging, tennis, and archery. I’ll often check the community calendar to see what theater productions are going on, as well as what classes are being offered through local academic institutions.

"Mostly, though, I can think of nothing more pleasurable than curling up in some corner with a favorite book to reread.”

Do you think morals are universal or relative to the beliefs, traditions, and practices?

“While I do believe that there are some universal morals/truths (particularly regarding the rights of others; ie. stealing, killing, maiming, etc), other details are more relative to a person’s preference, upbringing, society, and so on. 

"In the end, it’s up to the individual, which can vary wildly based on perspective.”
