Librarybelle There were a couple off-color remarks Holmes makes to Watson in this—Watson isn‘t alone in his errors or mistakes in Holmes‘s eyes! 1w

CogsOfEncouragement Yes, that was quite the roast. lol 1w

dabbe As an English teacher who had to give state tests, it was indoctrinated in us to lock up the tests! Then Soames just leaves it out in the open as he goes out to see his buddy? 😳 Then Barrister just happens to leave the key in the keyhole? He gets called “careless“ but Soames is excused from any name-calling. Watson et all are being a little bit prejudicial IMHO. 1w

Librarybelle There is that fine line between ambition and morality—to steal or not to steal, to rely on one‘s abilities or have the answers to fill out a perfect examination. Each student had an opportunity to visit the room and take the necessary papers, whether or not they were clearly marked, but it took a split second decision of one to make that choice. And, then coming to terms with their conscience. 1w

dabbe @Librarybelle And those high stakes might push someone over the edge who's desperate. 1w

dabbe Gilchrist‘s initial decision to cheat stems from the immense pressure to succeed, highlighting how ambition can sometimes drive individuals to compromise their values. However, his confession reflects the power of conscience and the ultimate triumph of morality. This conflict illustrates a universal struggle between short-term gain and long-term ethical considerations. 1w

Librarybelle There is that sense that perfection is needed, thus having the papers associated with the upcoming exam, and going to great lengths to succeed. 1w

dabbe The story critiques the intense pressure placed on students to succeed academically, as seen in Gilchrist‘s desperation to cheat. It also examines the rigid expectations of academic institutions, which can sometimes foster an environment where students feel cornered into unethical decisions. 1w

Librarybelle This one honestly did not hold my interest as much as the other stories. There wasn‘t a sense of suspense, in my opinion, compared to the others. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

CogsOfEncouragement This was one where I felt we had all the clues. I was like Watson though, didn‘t put them together myself, but thought it so simple once explained by SH. 1w

kelli7990 I didn‘t care for this one as much as the other ones. 1w

dabbe @Librarybelle @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 This one didn't hole my interest as much either, and I was a teacher! 🤩 Too many “just so happens“--like the fact that Barrister just happened to be the butler in the Gilchrist household, and the 3 students just happened to live in the same building as Soames. We had all the clues except finding out about the relationship between Barrister & Gilchrist until the very end. 1w

Cuilin I liked this one I especially enjoyed the academic setting. 1w

dabbe @Cuilin That's one of the biggest debates about this story--which university is it, Cambridge or Oxford--or neither? 1w

Really enjoyed this one. I think it's the first Sherlock Holmes story l read where there is not a murder, but it was interesting and engaging all the same.
