And yet I forgive him. He has taken years off my life and yet I forgive him. And in the excitement, I forget even to be angry. He calls me away from my practice, my bed, my wife, my life. I’d do this for no one else. But this was almost too far. He bruised my heart with his deception.

If this is almost too far, I wonder what too far would even be. What could it possibly be, if this can be forgiven? Poor Watson, with his pained and bruised heart, has the patience of an absolute saint.

It's funny that we're doing The Empty House this week--because he just runs after him after that as well. GROW A BACKBONE, WATSON! Or not.

Watson is a far better person than I; and far, far better than Holmes deserves. Great job!

Thank you!

Lovely. And very true.

Poor Watson. It's only one or two times in canon that he actually chastises Holmes for his cruelty.
