 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Holmes knew Watson strove to keep his complaints about winter cold to a minimum.  During the summer months, Holmes tried to follow his example.  He sealed his lips against grumbles, no matter how beastly the temperature became or how unbearable the humidity.  Sometimes it was a taste of torture when it felt like his flesh could melt right off his bones while Watson sat and read, completely at ease.

 

He knew his complaints were justified, however, when Watson, clad in a light linen suit, pulled the curtains closed against the sun’s glare and said mildly, “heat’s a bit fierce today.”
