Sherlock Holmes was not what I expected. He’s addicted to cocaine. He’s as haughty and vain as can be, treating Watson like a fool when Watson is really far from a fool. But my biggest surprise came when, Watson being exhausted, Holmes takes up his violin and says “Look here, Watson; you look regularly done. Lie down there on the sofa and see if I can put you to sleep.” He then proceeds to play Watson into a marvellously comforting slumber. What an extraordinary man.
