Il Compagno: A treatise on being a consulting detective’s companion

by Dr. ‘Niccolò’ W.


Patience is needed.

Curb that string of expletives into: “You are a little trying.”


Develop a vein of pawky humour.


And remember: it is better to be feared than loved. If all else fails, hit him over the head with something heavy.

I recommend Whitaker’s Almanack.

Sound advice.

It appears Watson is learning rapidly.

When I read this I thought - oh look, both Whitaker's Almanack and the Bradshaw.

Dr. W. has many years of experience in this area apparently and is keen to pass his expertise on ^^

We've got quite the library this week ^_^

A pleasant (for nonHolmeses) and helpful bit of advice, giving pawky a good name.

You've got to always keep that pawky sense of humour ^^

Love this!

And when Whitaker's isn't enough, combine it with the Bradshaw.

I'm so glad ^_^

Oh, Holmes is in for a cross-referencing tonight ^^"

I fear that binding may not hold out long, the way Holmes has been going!

Happily, they have two copies.

Watson is always sensible and plans ahead ^_^
