His Last Bow Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle, His Last Bow "Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last." "There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind none the less and a cleaner, better stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared." "His incredible untidiness, his addiction to music at strange hours, his occasional revolver practice within doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments, and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung around him made him the very worst tenant in London." "He seems to have declared war on the King's English as well as on the English king." "You know, ' I answered, with some emotion, for I had never seen so much of Holmes' heart before, 'that it is my greatest joy and privilege to help you."
