Silver Blaze: Connection

Hello there.
I'm new around here. (Well, sort of.) I hope we will get along well.
Do forgive that my 60's are completely out of order, I'm slowly catching up.

There is a method in his madness, they say. Well, I for one cannot conceive what my vanished race horse and limping sheep could possibly have in common, but... From his smug, satisfied smirk and the sudden, understanding sparkle in his companion’s bright blue eyes I guess they must have realised something that might forever remains a mystery for me.

Silence brings life. It keeps the heart beating.

I don’t mean my worthless existence, which is already at stake. What I have in mind is the heart outside one’s body - the most beloved person underneath the sun.

Moriarty’s right-hand man is somewhere up there - a tiger hunter whose heart, by my endeavour, is lost forever in the waterfall.

Silence brings life. It keeps the reputation untainted.

Perhaps I haven’t been able to protect him like I should, but I’ll never allow his name to be discredited. That’s why I’m sending pleading looks to the man who took everything from me. And he, ever the clever, understands.

„Allow me to introduce Colonel Sebastian Moran, late Professor Moriarty’s lov...yal companion.”

Forcing the door open was a matter of seconds. Even though I didn’t bother to bring along my pickpocket tools, Watson is not so irresponsible and carries his old service revolver on himself all the time. From the state of the room, the window violently broken into, everything can be told.

Not good.

Still not a perfect locked room mystery.

The opening scene of this story is just so brilliant.

"I am inclined to think--" said I.
"I should do so," Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently.
I believe that I am one of the most long-suffering of mortals; but I'll admit that I was annoyed at the sardonic interruption. "Really, Holmes," said I severely, "you are a little trying at times."
He was too much absorbed with his own thoughts to give any immediate answer to my remonstrance.

Over the time I got accustomed to such behaviour. His reactions (or the lack of those) still bother me occasionally, like right now. But his words harm unintentionally, sometimes he doesn’t realise until I highlight it. We move over, I forget and forgive instantly, but he does not.

The collection of novels I received as his apology grows unbearably extensive.
