‘IT WAS A FOOLISH GAMBLE, WATSON!’
I suppose it was. I had acted on instinct, and despite Holmes’ admonitions, I did not regret it. Of course I could not tell him that. Not now, not in the midst of his furious tirade. Nor would I argue that he would have done the same thing had he thought things through. He would never admit to that. To him, I took inexcusable chances, whereas he took calculated risks.
‘YOU'RE GRINNING!?!’
We had both survived, countless lives were saved, my injuries, though painful, would heal... and he cared.
‘It's the morphine,’ I replied.
