You are mistaken if you think only the thrill of the chase, the gathering of scattered, seeming-random clues, is of interest to me.

I am not my readers, Holmes. For their sake I write of moonlight and masks, of footprints in the clay.

My pleasure is your grey eyes alive with excitement, your great mind at work and at play.

Och, Watson. Mr Detective, your flatmate could do with a hug.

Fairly unlikely. Except in fic, heh heh heh...

An intersting take on the observation. I love the phrase-"moonlight and masks" by the way:-)

Ouch. Lovely reflection on that line, which really is one of Holmes' snarkiest moments in canon.

Thank you! Slightly anachronistic as the image is really from CHAS, but I expect they featured in some unrecorded cases somewhere.

See, I didn't read it as especially unkind - more "there won't be much for you to write about if it's just watching me think". But hey, that's the delight if it - we all see different angles.

♥ EPIC LOVE IS EPIC.

[debriswoman]

Yes, it did bring CHAS to mind:-)

Yes, there's more to Watson's inner mind workings than Holmes' brilliant intellect will ever fathom.

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Give him time. A few decades ought to do it :-) Thanks!

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Epic indeed.

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

maybe!

So much love and care there, and Holmes has no real idea. For an observant man, he has one very significant blind spot.

Watson is very sweet, whilst Holmes is so totally oblivious.

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

And it is our job as ficcers to lift the veil from his eyes :-)

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

True. But see my comment to smallhobbit below.

The multiple interpretations is one of the definite delights of the 60s, I agree. :-)
