"Injury"
It was worth a wound - it was worth many wounds - to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask.

Happy "It was worth a wound-it was worth many wounds..." day to all who celebrate!
The full quote like Oh My God!!!:
"You’re not hurt, Watson? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!” It was worth a wound–it was worth many wounds–to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation. “It’s nothing, Holmes. It’s a mere scratch.” He had ripped up my trousers with his pocket-knife. “You are right,” he cried with an immense sigh of relief. “It is quite superficial.” His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. “By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive. Now, sir, what have you to say for yourself?"

"Une figure inquiète avait surgi soudain de l'ouverture, avec une expression de dépit et de rage, qui fit place à une grimace de confusion devant la menace de nos deux revolvers braqués." The Adventure of the Three Garridebs. Published in Dimanche Illustré. G. Dutriac, 1930

The Three Garridebs
Originally published in 1925 and part of the 1927 Case-Book collection.
Refusals of honours are fairly common in Britain - some find the whole thing silly, some these days object to being in something called the "Order of the British Empire", some have political disagreements and others may hold out for something higher.
The South African War refers to the Second Boer War. This is going to get its own post at a later date.
"Britisher" was a contemporary term for British people; most people now use "Brit".
The "wheat pit" in Chicago refers to the Chicago Board of Trade Building, where wheat futures were traded. The building on the site was demolished in 1929 due to structural issues and replaced by the 1930 Art Deco building still on the site today.
Tyburn Tree refers to the former public execution site at Tyburn, near where Marble Arch is located today, which had a three-legged triangular gallows used for mass executions. The last execution was carried out there in 1783, before executions moved to Newgate Prison, now the site of the Old Bailey. A plaque marks the location.
Sotheby's and Christie's are two famous London auction houses.
Sir Hans Sloane was an Anglo-Irish physician, naturalist and collector, whose personal collection was bequeathed to the British nation on his death in 1753, forming the basis of three of London's major museums.
An artesian well is a well that brings water to the surface without pumping as it's under pressure below.
This was a time when the political machines were very much active in Chicago.
"Queen Anne" refers to the Baroque style of architecture popular during her reign from 1702 to 1714. There was a Queen Anne Revival style going at the time, which is somewhat different. Neither should be confused with the American style of architecture of that name.
The Bank of England is the sole printer of banknotes in England and Wales. Seven banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland are able to print banknotes there, but these are technically not legal tender and will generally be refused in England.

thinking about how this is their love confession (as if they needed one, at this point, it has been twenty years) and it isn't in dialogue it's in narrative, Watson says "I saw that he loved me" and makes that love part of the world
the privileges of the narrator - who addresses the audience directly in the opening paragraph to say "Well, you shall judge for yourselves."

After reading The Adventure of the three Garridebs and see how the spelling of plough/plow was a important clue, I had to look for my edition in Spanish of Todo Sherlock Holmes.
In Spanish plough is translated as arado, but as far as I know we don't have an alternative spelling any dialect, so the translator used aradora, and that's why the first time I read it I just feel something was wrong.
Also, look at this announcement! Nice edition ✨

Relationship envy except I envy the bond between iconic fictional characters Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson
#their relationship is so beautifully made#your honor they're everything to me#it doesnt even matter if you view them platonically or romantically#you cant deny the love they have for each other#the way that watson writes about holmes is just full of love and admiration#even though holmes doesnt express his feelings in the same way#he still loves him more than anything#as seen in 3GAR and DEVI#they both love each other so much#they both strengthen each other you see#they protect each other#they're a team#they each bring something unique to the table#but it doesnt feel like one is inferior to the other#at least not to me#traditional relationships always make me feel like someone is inferior/weaker than the other#holmes is smarter intellectually and he's stronger physically#but watson has the emotional intelligence#they balance each other perfectly#theyre PARTNERS in every sense of the word#and i want a relationship like theirs#i feel like traditional gender roles and stuff limit me from having a real relationship like this#as a girl#im expected to be weaker and softer#i mean even sherlock holmes says women are weaker#for gods sake#i feel like i will never achieve this level of equal partnership with a man#sherlock holmes#john watson#holmes/watson
