Q: “Hum! He’s about due. Do you feel a creeping, shrinking sensation, Watson, when you stand
before the serpents in the Zoo and see the slithery, gliding, venomous creatures, with their deadly
eyes and wicked, flattened faces? Well, that’s how Milverton impresses me. I’ve had to do with fifty murderers in my career, but the worst of them never gave me the repulsion which I have for this fellow. And yet I can’t get out of doing business with him—indeed, he is here at my invitation.”

C: I enjoy how Arthur Conan Doel uses Watson as the focal point. If we were inside Sherlock’s mind would we have been able to keep up? Watson does an excellent job of filtering all his rambling and rants of sherlock.

Q: Would you read a book from Sherlock’s perspective? how would that change the focalized structure of the book series?
