DANC -- The Adventure of the Dancing Men

The parallels were too exact to ignore. One party, close-mouthed, keeping the other in the dark even as danger loomed. The other party, devoted to a fault, determined to protect the other, refusing to question or break his word.

And now the terrible news: the trusting party was dead.

Holmes resolved then and there to be more forthcoming with Watson.

Great idea--but alas Holmes' resolution never lasts for long.

Alas, no - but he does get a *little* better over time. :-) Thank you!
