Sheer determination alone must have carried Hatherley up the seventeen steps to see me.

"Mr. Holmes."

He held out his uninjured hand, as pale and clammy as his face, and it bobbed in the air in time with his bounding heart. Somehow he was still standing.

Only a truly singular experience inspires such resolve. Watson had brought me a gift.

Holmes' eagerness for the case is very evident. Nicely done!

Oh, thank you! He's usually eager for any good case, and this one is pretty out there. :)
