CROO -- The Adventure of the Crooked Man

Theories buzzed in his brain, clattering like his train did upon the rails. Why had Mrs. Barclay accused Colonel Barclay so viciously and how did Henry Wood fit into all of this?

He needed someone to talk to, to listen as he theorized.

He needed someone to bear witness to what was likely an ugly, tragic tale.

He needed Watson.

The line of logic in this is great, and very Holmes. He does need his sounding board, his witness, his assistant. And under all of that, what he really needs his friend.

And under all of that, what he really needs his friend.

Yes, yes he does. Not that he'd ever admit it in so many words. ;-) Thank you!
