anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

Holmes and I have been involved in many adventures which are unlikely, for a variety of reasons, to see the light of publication.  Perhaps the most singular of these was the extraordinary case of the fiendish Norbury and the Giant Rat of Sumatra.  In that instance, we received aid from a most unexpected source at a moment when our situation was indeed dire, and the terrifying rodent was expertly dispatched by a remarkable feline that had once been the property of the cruel stepfather of one of our fair saviours.  

My friend Holmes has, in the past, described women as inscrutable and untrustworthy.  I have not heard him do so of late.

Sherlock knew that John had some stupid thing to go to this evening, but he had no idea that he'd be going in uniform.

As someone who's been a lover of traditional folk music from the British Isles for several decades, one thing I've learned is that "True Love" didn't always mean what you think it means. In the older songs, "true love" is not some mystical quality, some type of connection that is magically better than other Loves. No. A love that is "true" merely means that your Love is "true TO YOU." "True" as in faithful and loyal and trustworthy. A lover who will stand by you and with you no matter what comes. True the way a good sword is True. True the way a good knight is loyal. The contrast is "False Love," which is a lover who betrays you, who cannot be trusted.

"True Love" isn't something you find, it's a vow and a choice that you make, every day, to BE TRUE.
