Canon Story: CHAS
Watson expresses some surprise that I do not consider the victims foolish to leave written evidence of their indiscretions. He approves of my pity, pity that may excuse even stony-faced murder.
I place a grateful hand on his shoulder, fidelity and affection steadfast in his answering smile. I pity them, rather, that they need mere words to say their love.
