Canon Story: The Speckled Band

Title: When a Doctor Goes Right

Author: Mary Sutherland

Rating: PG

"When a doctor does go wrong, he is the first of criminals. He has nerve and knowledge" – Sherlock Holmes, The Speckled Band

My friend Watson's knowledge is sometimes a little shaky: one might expect a man who has spent time in India to recognise a swamp adder by sight. But there can be no doubt about his nerve. A man who will sit in perfect silence all night in a darkened room awaiting an unknown danger is surely a companion beyond price.

Perfect title. Holmes has the example of both, here: Roylott as the worst and Watson as the best. I love reading pieces where Holmes appreciates his companion. :-)
