It was one of those dramatic moments for which my friend existed.  

~ JW ~  The Valley Of Fear (1915)

“Watson here will tell you that I never can resist a touch of the dramatic.”

~ SH ~ The Adventure of the Naval Treaty (1893)

“My old friend here will tell you that I have an impish habit of practical joking. Also that I can never resist a dramatic situation.”

~ SH ~ The Adventure Of The Mazarin Stone (1921)

Holmes laughed. “Watson insists that I am the dramatist in real life,” said he. “Some touch of the artist wells up within me, and calls insistently for a well-staged performance.”

~  The Valley Of Fear  (1915)

A flush of colour sprang to Holmes’s pale cheeks, and he bowed to us like the master dramatist who receives the homage of his audience. It was at such moments that for an instant he ceased to be a reasoning machine, and betrayed his human love for admiration and applause. The same singularly proud and reserved nature which turned away with disdain from popular notoriety was capable of being moved to its depths by spontaneous wonder and praise from a friend.
