Thor Bridge: Unasked Questions

‘The schoolroom of sorrow where our earthly lessons are taught.’

What lessons Holmes had learned, in what schoolrooms? I wondered.

But then remembering Gibson’s statement, that most men have a little private reserve of their own in some corner of their souls where they don’t welcome intruders, I let the matter rest, and we journeyed back to London in silence.

No doubt Holmes has learnt some very sad lessons in his day, but Watson is right, he would not want to share them.

True.

I do like that - great pick up on the canon line.

Holmes and Watson do both seem like men that keep their cards very close to their chest. And I suppose they respect that in each other.

Yes, a bit reserve, a bit respect.

"Victorian schooling" doesn't exactly conjure up happy thoughts.

Yeah, those upper lips are stiff for a reason.

A discreet companion is a godsend.

Very true.
