Rating: G



For two hours I waited, trying to reconcile my medical instincts with my hesitation. It was not until I returned from my errand to Culverton Smith that I realized what had been bothering me. For all that Holmes looked terribly ill, the room did not smell like a sickroom. It was a sham. And I was not the intended target.




Author's Notes: I've always wondered why Watson didn't override Holmes, too, and think it must be because he had conflicting data to contend with.

Thank you! It is too puzzling that Watson should be so taken in... and so (relatively) nonchalant about the whole thing, esp. Smith's bragging about how he's succeeded in his biological warfare against Holmes at the end.
