Meme Answers (Part 1)

Last month I set one of those 15 characters memes (whereby I listed 15 characters and my flist suggested questions based up character numbers).  There were quite a number of questions, so I've decided to split the answers into two parts.  This is particularly useful because I cheated slightly and used both ACD and BBC versions of the Sherlock Holmes characters.  Today's answers are all ACD Holmes.  Part 2 will be posted on Sunday.
