He makes good observations when examining Gabrielle Valladon's injuries, and he also spotted the lack of footprints in the empty building for the letter drop. I found it surprising when he defended Holmes's smoking experiment and didn't complain at all about the suffocating atmosphere.<br /><br />BTW, I messed up the references Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961045566817216838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041289071611902558.post-70119581224299404972010-02-02T15:43:08.680-06:002010-02-02T15:43:08.680-06:00Nicely done.
