Motto of the Firm

"Holmes, shall you inform Miss Sutherland of her stepfather's deception?" I enquired.
"She will not listen," he said indifferently. "Women of her sort never do."
"Nonetheless, it seems an unnecessary cruelty not to tell her. I believe you should make the attempt."
"If it will make you happy," he responded.
"It will," I said. "After all, you can but try."

Here's hoping he had a rethink and did!

Yes. Good old Watson. Miss Sutherland will probably be upset, and may not believe Holmes (at first). It is a bizarre thing to have to grasp - the person you are in love with never even existed, and your mother and stepfather are plotting against you. But I don't think Holmes has the right not to tell her. Miss Sutherland is his client - she came to him to find out the truth.

Yes Holmes, when in doubt listen to Watson! When not in doubt, listen anyway!

On behalf of your dismayed fans everywhere, Mr Holmes, please consider Dr Watson's sagacious suggestion!
