"I'm glad he didn't decide to go into the consulting detective business," he comments wryly, and he drifts over to the mantlepiece where the penknife still rests. Reaching out, he traces his fingers over the handle.
"Though we could use a Holmes," he adds a little more subdued, and he purses his lips. "He... Well, he can't be replaced, can he? Oddest fellow I've ever met." He stops before his voice wavers.
