We'll watch Granada's adaptation of HOUN next week when we finish the novel.
( Onward to canon talk - The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapters 1-7 )
If that was Sherlock Holmes, then I’m a pit pony. I’ve met a good few miscreants in my time and that man is up the top with the best of them. I know Mr Holmes likes to dress up sometimes, but then he never gives his name. Stupid driver, making that mistake; my previous driver, Mr Hope he knew better.
HOUN, Part 1 – Rainy-Day Reflections
“He is not a man with intimate friends.”
I saw Watson’s expression change when I uttered those words, but I set it aside for the time.
It was only later that I recalled my words. My Watson did have one intimate friend – one who had sent him off into a mucky day, and now to certain peril.
Intimate, idiotic, yet repentant friend. I was on the next train.
Extended-play version (100 words):
“He is not a man with intimate friends.”
I saw Watson’s expression change slightly when I uttered those words, but caught up in explaining my train of thought, and distracted by the larger problem of Sir Charles’ demise, I set it aside for the time.
It was only later, after I had sent my Watson off with Sir Henry, that I recalled my words. My Watson did have one intimate friend – one who had sent him off into a mucky day, and now to certain peril.
Intimate, if occasionally idiotic friend – and one capable of reconsidering his plans and mending his errors. I was on the next train.
