"Watson, why one earth have you written this case up? I solved this case with an Encyclopedia and a day's immersion in shipping records. It lacks a great deal of the drama and sensationalism that you delight in."

"It has some singular features," I said, thinking of how shaken Holmes had been by the murder of his client.

Features that it wouldn't hurt to remind Holmes about on occasions? Nice one.

There's something very Holmes about claiming a lack of drama and sensationalism when a client is killed by a secret society.... Nice!

Holmes never seems to get that the details of the detective work are only one part of what makes the stories of his adventures so compelling.

Great work!

Hmm, I'm sure Holmes does not wish to be reminded overmuch of this particular case... nicely done!

It is one of the oddest stories in canon, isn't it? Nicely done!
