Watching Staunton sob out his grief took my mind to another scene, when I had been the husband overcome at the foot of a bed on which lay his beloved. I must confess that the vision quite undid me, and I heard nothing of Holmes and Armstrong's conversation until Holmes put his hand on my shoulder and led me outside.

Oh, how wrenching. Poor Watson. Well done.

Thank you!

There seems to be a lot of grief around at the moment, but I do like your take on this. It must have been hard for Watson as it would have brought back a lot of memories.

Yes, can't imagine where all this grief is coming from.

He does a bit disappear from the end of the story, and ACD does one of his 'bored now. No need for a conclusion' endings.

Oh, this one hurts. At least Holmes is there this time for him.

So sad! Poor, dear Watson. He must have been so alone at that time.

I know. It's heartbreaking to think about it too much.
