About this episode
"It is a nice household," he murmured. "That is the baboon." [SPEC]
It seems that Dr. Grimesby Roylott had a bit of a wild side. Killed a man in India. Threw a blacksmith off a small bridge. Had a cheetah and baboon wandering his grounds. You know, as one does.
As we looked at the animals in detail, we came across a startling detail about Roylott's menagerie. You might say it's just a Trifle.
