Author's Notes: "I have serious thoughts of writing a small monograph upon the uses of dogs in the work of the detective."

I received one of Holmes's laconic messages:

Holmes calls and Watson comes running...




Watson, come!

Sit! Not on the nice furniture. On your old armchair, that’s a good doctor.

(Sometimes I’d swear he understands everything I say.)

Here’s Bennett now! (Thank heavens Watson’s used to strangers.)



Mental breakdown? Financial transactions? No, Watson! Bad deduction!

(Nevertheless, a faithful fellow. Truly a man’s best friend...)

“Holmes, will you please stop patting me on the head.”
