When I rose to give the eulogy my mind could not fix upon the words, and I found myself staring at the mourners, wondering how many of Mary's friends would vanish from my life. My own friends were scattered and few, not counting the men I had met through Sherlock Holmes. Lestrade. Gregson. Even his brother, behind whose shoulder stood a man dressed in livery with grey eyes which were... were...

I stared at him for some seconds in utter amazement, and then it appears that I must have fainted for the first and the last time in my life.

Nice twist. Watson losing his wife is so sad! I like Holmes being there.
