Dear Sumal and Holmesians,

From what I understand, all of what Dr. Watson wrote for the reading public
was written with the blessings of, and probably after being edited by, Holmes.
Remember Holmes telling Watson at one point to write about a particular
adventure? So if an indiscretion, like the coke habit, or some eccentricity was
mentioned it must have been with Holmes' concurrence. As far as embarrassment is
concerned, Holmes was, for the most part, way beyond such trivial human
weaknesses. What say you?

PS: Besides, Watson seems very much like the usual reserved Britisher
regardless of his origins, the sort who wouldn't wash anyone's linen in
public...or am I wrong?

Dear Holmesians,
Don't you think that Dr Watson was slightly discreet in revealing that
Sherlock Holmes was a cocaine user? I am sure, this would have
embarassed SH no end!
