ILLU -- The Adventure of the Illustrious Client

…at half-past five a cab deposited us outside 104 Berkeley Square, where the old soldier resides -- one of those awful gray London castles…

I could have afforded such a castle myself at this latter stage of my career. But to give up the comforts of Baker Street, the familiarity of the rooms, the scolding care of Mrs. Hudson, the memories of warmth, companionship, and triumph that permeated the walls?

There was no amount of money in the world that could buy me that.

This is lovely. Baker Street of happy memories as opposed to a grey castle without love; no contest.

Thank you! It's a touch sentimental for Holmes, but 'tis the season and all that.

Hear, hear, Holmes. Lovely little thought expressed in typically forthright terms.

Thanks! I'm glad you found the expression in character. :-)

*giggle* It is terribly fluffy, but I couldn't resist. Thank you!
