Dr watson Quote by Alan Bradley
““I realized with an unexpected shock that without either ale or female within easy reach, Ned was somehow incomplete. Why hadn't I noticed that before? Perhaps, like Dr. Watson on the wireless in 'A Scandal in Bohemia', there are times that I see, but do not observe. This was something I needed to think about.””
