What wonderful scenery. Thanks for the pictures! I'm going to be in the area in about a year's time and may schedule in a visit to Northern Ireland. Your line about "a long walk" reminds me of a line by another English wag (albeit of a far different century than Jonson), C.E.M. Joad, who asserted, "Thirty miles in one day is a long walk," which Russell Kirk (one of my favorite writers) states is "...an example of absolute truth, to which any rational man will assent"!

Another example of absolute truth is that I'm getting weary. 03:08 here. Bed is calling. So bis morgen. Thanks for the company.

I wonder if, in the case of A Study in Scarlet, you may be thinking of the 1933 picture of the same name with Reginald Owen and Anna May Wong. It's been ages since I've seen it (I actually rather liked it, though most Holmes fans don't), but I remember the murders in it were committed according to a nursery rhyme. Has anyone else here ever actually seen this picture, now that I think of it? Or The Ninth Guest, which I also mentioned in that post? Both above-par little mystery flicks, though The Ninth Guest is far superior.
