• You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake, say that you are not hurt!" It was worth a wound -- it was worth many wounds -- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask.

With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff.
