My Mary is a lighthouse – she remains in one place, and those in trouble seeking a haven come to her.

Mrs. St. Claire is not a lighthouse but a rescue boat – she fearlessly heads out to search for who is missing to bring him home.

From lighthouse to boat I bring notice to Holmes. I am, indeed, his stormy petrel.

That's so lovely. A beautiful extension of ACD's metaphor.

In TWIS and ENGR we see that both Watsons are seen as shelter and sanctuary for many in need.

Lovely take on the characters and their roles.

It's not just Holmes who rescues people in need in these tales.

Lovely metaphors.

Thanks so much. Holmes may be the watchman on the docks, but the Watsons are his Coast Guard.

Great thought, and lovely contrast of the two women.

Thank you! For a Victorian male, Doyle had some fabulous women in his stories.
