the criminal Dr Watson!
As an update to my previous post:
although wanting to read the canon this time round without annotations, I quickly looked up CHAS in the Annotated and found a yet further crime committed by the 'heroes' of the story:
Battery
Watson says of their escape: "I felt the hand of the man behind me grab at my ankle; but I kicked myself free". We later learn this was the under-gardener of Appledore Towers, an entirely innocent man; and very aggrieved he must surely have felt at being kicked (assaulted!) by the fleeing Dr Watson!
