Some Facts Should Be Suppressed

“Will you lose an eye to that Jezail in the next one?” Holmes looked amused.
“It’s no laughing matter,” I replied.
He reached over and laid his hand on a spot just below my hip bone with an apologetic expression. I sighed and closed my eyes, then put my hand on his.
“You said yourself, some facts should be suppressed.”

Very cleverly done:-)

What an excellent use of that quote, and a good answer to the problem.

Well written, too. Thank you.

I see what you've done there.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Quite. It really is better not to share all the information ;)

Yes, I suppose Watson might not want to share all aspects of his private life with his reading audience...

Subtly done - and as laurose8 said, a great use of the quote ^^

Very clever! Solves the problem neatly!

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

It makes a lot of sense when you put it that way!

Nice job. :)

I had to read that a few times to get it, and yes, so cleverly done. Solving the problem of the divergent wounds of the good doctor in a mere 60 words. :)
