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?
