Okay so I've seen so many posts lately referencing Watson almost hitting Milverton over the head with a chair, which is a moment so clearly beloved to us all that at this point I think we need our own little fandom holiday akin to Tumblr's Ides of March in which we let Watson hit Milverton with the chair and all celebrate with much pomp and circumstance.

Anyone have a suggestion for the name and/or date of this auspicious occasion?

His Last Bow

for @astudyincanon I found an audiobook of His Last Bow, sadly not Sir Christopher Lee this time, but adequate. :)

I can believe that this time Holmes and Watson may actually have been separated for at least a time, because they do seem so happy to see each other again. They still work together like a well oiled machine, though.

The story is bookended by the scenes of two men standing and chatting companionably together, at the beginning it’s the two German spies, at the end it’s our heroes.

I was struck by how similarly von Bork here, and Magnussen in HLV, speak of the English. And like Milverton, von Bork keeps his papers in a safe, which Holmes finds a way to get into. “Altamont” has an appointment to bring sensitive documents, but essentially ends von Bork instead.
