As I recall, he had already retired (with the exception of a couple post-retirement cases and of course, the Laurie King novels) by the time the Empty House -- or at least the Return collection -- was published. So, he must have retired around 1904 or so.
I forget, in the world of literature versus the Jeremy Brett series, didn't he keep the Blue Carbuncle? That would allow for a particularly early retirement.
