Author's Notes: Trevor was the only man I knew, and that only through the accident of his bull terrier freezing on to my ankle one morning as I went down to chapel. [Also, hello! I'm a newb, and very pleased to be here. *waves*]
My deductive talents were even then considerable; but I knew very little of the soul of man, of the heights and depths it could achieve. Had I not been detained that morning on my way to chapel, I wonder – would ever I have learned? No flood or exodus or righteous battle ever harrowed me quite like Mr. Trevor's last testament.

Date: 2012-08-22 07:44 pm (UTC)Terrific work with your first 60. No flood or exodus or righteous battle ever harrowed me quite like Mr. Trevor's last testament. -- I love that. Holmes is usually portrayed as impenetrable, so I like the sense of vulnerability you've given him here. He can be affected, harrowed. Ah, that's just so good.
