This blog is currently on indefinite hiatus. I'm still on Tumblr, just not here. I'll still be checking messages from time to time so if you would like my other blog URL leave a message for me here and I'll give it to you.
Until then.

"We're not jealous of you down at Scotland Yard. No, sir, we are proud of you, and if you come down to-morrow there's not a man, from the oldest inspector to the youngest constable, who wouldn't be glad to shake you by the hand."
-G. Lestrade

"Alas, I was never able to match his unflinching chutzpah…
…Or his infectious conviviality. He had the ability to be everyone’s friend. But it did not come carelessly: he worked at it. He knew not just each individual of the man film crews he worked with, but was genuinely interested in their families and their hobbies. He took snaps of them, and posted them up on a special board. He valued their many varied skills, and told them so. People respond to that kind of warmth, and respond in kind."

“I made terrible mistakes. I’m so miscast; I’m a romantic-heroic actor. So I was terribly aware that I had to hide an awful lot of me, and in so doing I think I look quite often brusque, or maybe sometimes even slightly rude. In fact Dame Jean Conan Doyle, Doyle’s daughter, who’s a great personal friend of mine, did once say to me, ‘I don’t think my father meant You-Know-Who to be quite so rude’, and I said, ‘I’m terribly sorry, Dame Jean, I’m just trying to hide me.’”

“Well,” said Lestrade, “I’ve seen you handle a good many cases, Mr. Holmes, but I don’t know that I ever knew a more workmanlike one than that. We’re not jealous of you at Scotland Yard. No, sir, we are very proud of you, and if you come down to-morrow, there’s not a man, from the oldest inspector to the youngest constable, who wouldn’t be glad to shake you by the hand.”
“Thank you!” said Holmes. “Thank you!” and as he turned away, it seemed to me that he was more nearly moved by the softer human emotions than I had ever seen him.
