London
1884
Dr Watson was limping again. It was barely noticeable at first, but as winter approached and the wind became colder, the limp and the doctor’s mood worsened.
Sherlock Holmes observed his friend, thinking of ways to lend assistance. If there were pain-relievers, the doctor was certainly already aware of them. If Watson should revert to using his cane, Holmes dared not tell him so. Giving up casework was unthinkable; the doctor’s pride would never tolerate that.
Holmes would say nothing, shortening his stride ever so slightly.
Sometimes, in order to help, the best thing was to do nothing at all.
