Call for Justice

"And if that fair judgment goes against you?" the prosecutor asked, which saved me the trouble of asking the same question.

"I have faith in an honest English jury," Holmes said. He was grimacing with pain as I eased him back into a sitting position, but he would not let that stop him. "If Collins has been neglecting the evidence in favor of a pre-determined outcome he need only side with the majority."

"And that's all?"

"It is. Except, of course," Holmes added, with steel in his voice, "that Mrs. Watson and the Doctor shall not be retaliated against, afterwards."

Wich is a good point. A very good point.

I love it when Holmes is such the master of the situation. Even on his sickbed, he's unbeatable. :)
