19. Afraid
“Sherlock!”
“Brother mine?”
“What do you think you are doing?”
“It's just between friends.”
“This... brute is not a friend! You could be badly injured, or killed! Does your fellow lodger know about this?”
“No, and he doesn't need to. He is still convalescing. Besides, my opponent is not a brute, but a price-fighter, and a gentleman.”
“Hardly that!”
“I am not that easily beaten, Mycroft. I will survive.”
“At least you are afraid. No, don't deny it. It's a good thing, Sherlock, it means you'll be careful. In your recklessness.”

20. Agree
“He's a military man, I gather?”
“Former army doctor.”
“I see. Recently returned from Afghanistan, and wounded there, no doubt. Still sick, easily disturbed without question. Has done sports once - rugby, I'd say. He's a younger brother, his watch-chain is newly bought, nor heirloom then. The watch would surely have gone to the eldest son. He won't last a week with you, or else go insane, would you not agree?”
“Brother mine, as a matter of fact, Watson and I are lodging together for almost a month, and he has the patience of a saint.”
