I've been rereading Sherlock Holmes and the books are in order. In "The Sign of Four" Watson meets his wife. In the next two collections of short stories Watson often refers to his wife. However, in the third collect "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" Watson tells us how Shelock escaped death at the hands of Dr. Moriarty, how he quits his medical practice, moved back in with Sherlock at Baker's St. and how he has weened Sherlock off of his drug habit. In other words he refers back to the past quite a bit. However, there is not one mention of his wife! What happened to her?
