Summary
Sherlock Holmes was a man of many habits. Pipe smoking was perhaps his most famous, and several of his more intimate acquaintances knew that he could occasionally descend into the comfort of a seven-percent solution of cocaine. And most knew that Doctor John Watson was one of those habits, even after the detective had retired to the South Downs.
John Watson was a fixed point that Holmes could hold on to as the winds of change blew through Europe. Without that anchor, without his fixed point, what would become of Sherlock Holmes? What powers on earth could separate the detective from his faithful chronicler?

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."An exploration in Speirs. This is a look at the biggest bad-ass of Easy, from a young age living with his parents in Maine to old age living with his partner, Second Lieutenant C. Carwood Lipton, in Montana. How did he go from being the quiet boy no one wanted on their baseball team in PE (even if he could run the bases faster than anyone else) to being the quiet foster father of four? From being a war hero and CO of Easy Company to being a handyman that all the women in the neighbourhood called upon? From being rumour-riddled and nightmare-haunted to being loved and care-worn? This is the story of how Ronald C. Speirs became Real.
