REDC -- The Adventure of the Red Circle

Education, Mr. Holmes said. Well, only a fool thinks he’s learned everything, and he’s no dunce. And I’m no simpleton, either. I’ve learned that it’s better to have him by your side on a case than not; that sometimes it’s best to ask questions before you start Justice’s wheel; and that occasionally it’s best to pretend I’ve a blind eye.

...and if possible, try not to punch him.

Sorry, wrong 'verse. Couldn't resist it though.

Eh, technically wrong 'verse, but absolutely correct in ACD, too. ;-)

No, I think canon Holmes has much better manners. Thinks it, but doesn't say it much except to Watson.

I dunno; I think the ACD Yarders get it pretty thick from Holmes in canon, and therefore probably could use the "...and don't punch him..." equivalent advice. ;-)
