"Holmes! To think a J.P. would so wantonly disregard the law. Incomprehensible!" I exclaimed as we settled back to our comfortable confines.

"You know my feelings of maleficent doctors from the Roylott Affair. Second are those associated with law who see themselves above it and exploit their relationship therewith. They tend to stop at nothing to obtain their ends."

Yes. Sadly, still all too true. Good work.

I like the contrast here: Watson, honest and straightforward, cannot understand how anyone can abuse their position; Holmes, aware of the imperfections of mankind, determined that nevertheless they don't get away with it.

Very neat comparison of the different reactions of the pair to what happened. Watson 's default position is trust, Holmes' is wary cynicism.

Nicely done:-)

Well done! I'd like to think that one of the ways Holmes valued Watson was for his honesty and strong moral sense. Helped keep Holmes from being jaded. :-)
