Summary
In which Sherlock Holmes keeps secrets but tells no lies, John Watson ceases to be sure about anything, and the definition of seduction is scrutinised, broken down, and reconstructed.
" 'Sherlock… what do you see when you look at Irene Adler?'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean… do you see anything like… like what you see when you look at me?'
Sherlock finally turns to meet John’s eyes and looks him up and down. 'No.'
John should be relieved by this, but it's little comfort. 'But there’s something though, isn’t there?'
Sherlock appears torn between answering honestly and not replying at all. At last he says, 'Yes. Something.' "
