‘I like a friend the better for having faults that one can talk about.’
‘What the devil are you going on about, Holmes?’
‘You, Doctor! Lestrade and Bradstreet were listing off my… ahem… less than admirable qualities and lamenting your absence today.’
‘They missed me? How extraordinary!’
‘They seem to think you walk on water.’
‘Not since they fished me out of the Thames, I’ll wager.’
‘They don’t believe you to have any flaws.’
‘How about my obsessive contemplation of murdering my flatmate and his wretched violin?’
‘I’m afraid, my dear fellow, they would only count that in your favour.’
