( No Title )
No but like –
At the end of The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot, Dr. Sterndale says to Holmes in defence of his actions that “Perhaps if you loved a woman, you would have done as much yourself.”
Sherlock confirms this when he says “I have never loved, Watson, but if I did and the woman I loved had met such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done,” – i.e, kill someone.
BUT in The Adventure of the Three Garridebs he says to Garrideb that “If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive.”
Ahem ahem excuse me?
Oh and also this:
“You’re not hurt, Watson? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!“
It was worth a wound – it was worth many wounds – to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.”Sorry, what was that, Watson?? 👀
