As you value your life or your reason, keep away from the moor.
A friendly warning, Holmes had deduced, but a warning nonetheless.
Yet any lingering trepidation in my heart was suddenly dispelled like morning mist by the sun when Holmes spoke of my worth as a true compatriot. My hand was warmed by Sir Henry's grateful handshake, and my spirit by my companion's recommendation. I gladly accepted the call to adventure without hesitation.
It was not that I thought my life--or reason--valueless. It was that I valued Holmes' esteem, and the well-being of a new friend, more.
