It's not a minor thing, either, it plays a key role in several of the stories, and Watson is effusive about it That many, many other fields of human endeavor lost a potential genius when Holmes decided to go down his unique path in life, but most of all the London stage

And afterwards he just sighs to Watson that this guy is an ass and always will be but he's clearly been so freaked out by this experience he's not gonna try anything at this scale again and turning him into a hardened criminal will just make the world a worse place

Also, what the hell, it's Christmas (That story is in fact one of the most fun and least sappy "Christmas episodes" in history)

That is sincerely one of my favorite parts of the cannon Holmes stories. That one, and the one where he gets a man to admit to catfishing his stepdaughter for her inheritance income, and then canes the shitstain all the way out the front door.

Yup and he says he doesn't have any legal recourse against the guy that wouldn't cause the daughter to suffer further pain and humiliation but he's pretty certain the guy's gonna pull something else that sends him to the gallows someday
