    Summary

    Yet there is one account above all others which I have censored quite shamefully, willfully, and without an honourable motivation — nor with any particular grace. In my defence, it was not entirely unnecessary, and at the time I was both inexperienced in the field of biography and lacking the honour of Mr Holmes's blunt perspective. I refer, of course, to the case of Mr Jonathan Small and the Agra treasure, the case I entitled, 'The Sign of the Four'.

    Summary

    Watson should not have been surprised that Holmes rejected him.

    Because, he'd thought, how in the world could a bird such as you, magnificent, brave, bright and beautiful ever love a mere fish like myself? The slow, dull, limited creature you've chosen to sing your song to?
