Tiny Sherlock Holmes reference

Just re-watched “Pilot” and “The Thing You Love Most” to review the basic info of the curse b4 2×17.And something struck me.When Emma,Graham,and Regina were in Henry’s room,trying to locate Henry,the convo between Emma and Graham goes kind of like this:

Emma:Smart kid.He cleared his inbox,but I’m smart too.Here’s a little hard drive recovery device I like to use.
Graham:I’m a little more old-fashioned.You know,pounding on the pavementlooking for help,information,knocking on doors…
Emma:You’re on salary.I get paid for delivery.Pounding the pavement is a luxury I don’t have.

The thing that caught my ear was the phrase”pounding on the pavement.”In a short Sherlock Holmes story called”The Read-Headed League,”Sherlock Holmes is trying to locate a young criminal and he beats the pavement with his cane outside a pawnbroker’s shop to determine whether or not there is a cellar beneath that the man could be utilizing.
Graham was originally supposed to be Sherlock instead of Huntsman,but apparently there were rights issues.So using that phrase”pounding the pavement”was most likely a little nod to Graham’s originally intended identity! 😀
