It is a wonderful display of trust and affection on Holmes' part :)
I do agree with what you say re Watson, though I do find it amusing how Holmes seeks people who compliment him: either by being boisterous or active yet quiet when needed.
Media needs to reread the books so we can have more adaptations showing how devoted and compassionate Sherlock Holmes is to friends and others.
Agree - this story really a fine example of Holmes' compassion and anxiety to help. Oh, I like your idea that he must have been fretting over leaving Victor under such a cloud! Fits the story well and with how fast Holmes returns to Victor
I'm glad not to be alone re feeling little sympathy for Mr Trevor. Killing those soldiers was hardly just and the whole affair was sickening. I concur he probably had little choice, but the lack of remorse is telling in my opinion.
Hmmm I think an occasional letter sounds right.
Oh certainly, Watson has his reaction hidden somewhere in a journal ;)
