Canon Notes: This is my favorite story we've read so far. It is chock full of excitement, thrilling danger, loyal friendship, and unexpected moral quandaries. Wonder if we should start having a discussion post for the canon stories, because we'd have a lot to talk about for this one!


Our escape was intense. After, Holmes grinned triumphantly until he noticed me gasping, spent from the run.

“Watson? Are you all right, old man?”

“I’m not... an old man... but you... are a lunatic!” I replied between ragged breaths.

He threw his head back laughing, and clasped my shoulder. "Perhaps so! But there is nothing madness loves more than company.”

CHAS -- The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton

I had not lived with Watson six days before I had accurately assessed his character: brave, unassuming, adventuresome, loyal. Within six months, I had somehow come to depend on these things, along with his willingness to obey my commands unquestioningly.

It was a shock when he flatly refused to let me venture to Milverton’s alone. Loyalty and bravery out-trumped obedience.

Pairing: Holmes/Watson


Agatha was reluctant to provide Holmes with all the details he needed, as if her female intuition had picked up his internal disgust at the situation. How could he push past that?

If I truly loved her, what would I do? If she were Watson... The answer was obvious. He took her hand.

“My dear, will you marry me?”

The heap of papers from Milverton's safe had made an impressive blaze. We had undoubtedly freed a good number of wretched souls from his evil grasp—exactly who and how many, we'd never know. But afterwards, as I regarded Holmes through the smoky haze from his pipe, I wondered.

"Private revenge," he'd said to Lestrade.

I wonder about that, still.
