The Dog Did Nothing

• TITLE: "The Dog Did Nothing" See below

• "... Silver Blaze ..."
  
  
  This is a short story which was published in The Strand Magazine in December, 1892. It has been more recently printed as part of one of the standard Holmes collections by Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes." Here is a link (from the hallowed halls of Marietta College) to the text of Silver Blaze.
  
  
  
  

• "... Sherman Potter ..." Sherman T. Potter was played by actor Harry Morgan, born Harry Bratsburg on April 10, 1915 (Hey! Happy Birthday, Sherm!). Morgan has been in 10 television series and more than 50 movies. When he was really angry or frustrated, he would holler: "Horse Hockey!"

• "... kindjal ..." A curved sword of this type.
