sherlock holmes:

I won this auction at @221bcon! This is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle’s son Adrian and John Dickson Carr (who I suspect did most of the heavy lifting). It was originally published in 1952; this is the 1970s paperback reissue. It’s okay. The MAIN reason I wanted it is to share with you….

January 29th: A strange meeting

man

you

he’s highlighting the important contrast in these relationships - where his choice to marry mary *cough* is fixed, but his devotion and importance in sherlock’s life is grander and elevated.

THE MAN YOU HAVE SAVED. PERIOD.

In just five words, Sherlock highlights John's all-encompassing quality of being his saviour.

John has not only saved Sherlock's life in a literal sense. John has saved Sherlock from the lifelong struggle of being alone, a freak, an outcast, a misunderstood genius. John has saved him from recklessness, from the siren call of drugs, from self-harm and from his being careless towards his own existence. John has saved him from a life devoid of sentiment.
