| | GOWN |
 | | What we know from Watson is that Holmes’ gown was rarely worth commenting on, and when he did, it was a simple description of the color. |
 | | He was lounging upon the sofa in a PURPLE DRESSING GOWN, a pipe-rack within his reach upon the right, and a pile of crumpled morning papers, evidently newly studied, near at hand. |
 | | Sherlock Holmes was, as I expected, lounging about his sitting-room in his DRESSING GOWN, reading the agony column of The Times, and smoking his before-breakfast pipe, which was composed of all the plugs and dottles left from his smokes of the day before, all carefully dried and collected on the corner of the mantelpiece. |
