I had carved away layers of armour: the layer of affability, the layer of civility, the layer of unassuming stolidity. Finally I had reached the core, which was keen and shrewd, and really rather beautiful.
Holmes you are such a talented artisan with the uncovering of secrets and the truth, much like the author of this piece. What an elegant, clean Holmes voice, one where you can almost see him sitting there taking on information and processing it, while at the same time trying so hard to not connect those dots. It is a beautiful balance of abstraction and intention, while at the same time giving us a lovely view of the wryness of Watson (Or the shrewd) and the endless patience and perhaps sadness of Villard.
