“You are remarkably silent this evening, Watson.  I realise that my deductions indicated a slowing of my brain, but I expected some response from you.”

“Holmes, it was my revolver!”

“The Hampshire Constabulary will retrieve it, I have no doubt.”

“That is not the point.  My revolver is to protect us from danger not for you to experiment with.  Ever!”

I like the way Watson seems nervous here, like he's naked without his revolver. He didn't know he'd be without it. Maybe once a soldier, always a soldier.

You can imagine him thinking "What am I supposed to do if we hit a spot of bother before I have my gun back?"
