Canon Story: The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
Title: The Good Doctor (I)
Author: Mary Sutherland
Rating: PG


I have never loved, I told Watson, but I have been loved. Only a man who loved me could have found the strength to take hold of me and rescue us from my misguided experiment. Yet what could I do subsequently but retreat into a half-humorous, half-cynical attitude? Our love is too deep for any words; actions alone must suffice.

Rating: PG-13

Watson's deductive inability has survived the years intact. He had merely to glance at the obituaries column in the Times to see why an account of the Tregennis case could now be published. Sterndale's hunting party had suffered a fatal encounter with a rogue elephant. The slaughterer of others had himself met a violent death; thus the pattern repeats itself.

A very powerful moment in canon captured here, and I like the continuation of the tale in the second piece. Violence begets violence.

The first one has such emotional power. It speaks to me. And I adore that you gave an explanation to the "why now" question about this story in the second! Capital!
