Librarybelle I almost rolled my eyes, since we‘ve seen this time and again in the stories, in which Holmes decides what is just and who should be punished. The justice system is there to parse judgment on guilt or innocence (at least, up until recently when the justice system is being attacked on a broader scale, but I digress…). Holmes and Watson should not be judge and jury. And yet, they were. 2d

eeclayton @Librarybelle 💯 2d

dabbe I guess Holmes thought justice was done: the “eye for an eye“ idea. Dr. Sterndale killed the murderer of his love, so hey, it's all okay! As long as he goes to Africa, I guess. Big 🙄 on this one. I did the eye-rolling for you, @Librarybelle! 🤣 1d

CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle @eeclayton @dabbe I also thought this was especially flimsy “justice”. 7h

Librarybelle He seems to have more respect for Watson. There is the moment when Watson saves his life, and Holmes shows a rare bit of emotion and almost a human reaction to Watson and to the situation. 2d

eeclayton @Librarybelle “almost a human reaction“ 😂 I agree.
But he does drag Watson into this crazy experiment while being suspicious that the substance has already killed two people. That's not the kind of thing you'd expose your friend to. 2d

I think once Sherlock gets his nose involved in a case, he's basically ignorant to all other things--like life itself. I'm glad he shows a wee remorse and gratefulness to Watson. 1d

dabbe This quote truly summed up for me the overall bromance love between these two: “ 'You know,' I answered with some emotion, for I had never seen so much of Holmes‘s heart before, 'that it is my greatest joy and privilege to help you.' “ 😭 1d

CogsOfEncouragement @dabbe That same bromance passage really struck me too. 7h

Librarybelle I liked this one, because it was creepy. I read this late last night and almost chided myself for doing so…I wanted what little sleep I get anymore! But, I liked the thriller elements of death by fright, a possible person at the window, but really no visible signs of anyone. 2d

eeclayton I liked it, too. I enjoyed the Cornwall setting. 2d

Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton I loved the Cornwall setting too. Not too fond of the creepiness as I am easily spooked. 2d

dabbe @Librarybelle @eeclayton @Cuilin ... agree with all! A delightfully creepy tale with the moody moors for atmosphere as well. 1d

kelli7990 I liked this story. 1d

CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle @dabbe I was surprised how creeped out I got by this one. I had to remind myself I was just reading SH. 7h

CogsOfEncouragement I liked this one. I drew the wrong conclusion, I had figured that Dr. Sterndale had killed them the first night and when he heard one of the family survived he hastened back to finish what he started. I suppose I was tricked by Mortimer‘s lie that someone was in the bushes. 7h
