I had no choice but to lie to Watson in order to trap Culverton Smith; he has no talent for dissimulation. I, however, possess such a talent. And so it is that I lie to my dearest friend constantly by omission, for when I beg him, "As you love me," I do not add "as I most surely love you".

Five Christmases after the notorious Morcar jewel theft, I saw John Horner for the first time, when I attended – in disguise – the plumbers' annual ball. From the cut of his waistcoat, the years had seen his fortunes improve. James Ryder, however, died a broken man in '91, and so the true story of the Blue Carbuncle can now be revealed.

Poor Holmes, forced forever to hide his love.

I do like the idea of a disguised Holmes at the plumbers' annual ball!

Interesting look at the fates of the two men in BLUE

DYIN raises all sorts of questions:-)

Such emotion in the first. Can he ever tell the truth, or is he forever bound to his lie?

And I love the little deduction in the second about the waistcoat. Nice touch!
