"You won't be offended, Watson?"

In truth, I knew not what to think. Relief that Holmes was not dying was foremost, but the deception he had perpetrated wounded deeply. Perhaps it had been necessary that I met Smith while still unaware, but afterward? Surely not.

Holmes counted on my love to trump my medical judgment. Lord help me, it did.

That is a perfect last line. Love it! Watson is a far better man than Holmes deserves.

Poor Watson. You captured his frustration very well.

Watson is amazingly long-suffering, isn't he? Nice!
