“Watson, do you remember the affair of The Copper Beeches? The scattered houses meant beauty to you, but to me, only isolation and impunity for crimes committed therein.”
I love Watson's pragmatism and reassurance. Because of course the truth lies somewhere between these two views - Holmes and Watson can acknowledge the possibility of evil and prepare for it, without that meaning they can't enjoy the loveliness of the country too.
