marycrawford: 13 hour clock icon (holmes watson <3)
Part 1: The Blue Carbuncle
Part 2: The Copper Beeches

It was a toss-up between Charles Augustus Milverton and Bruce-Partington for my next pick, but [personal profile] janeturenne has named so many of the things that I love about CHAS that I will just point you there. The link between these two stories is that they both feature Holmes and Watson as burglars -- on the side of justice, to be sure, but committing a crime nonetheless, and working closely together in an atmosphere of dark and danger, stealth and competence -- yeah, I'm sure I don't know why that should appeal to me. Phwoar.

In both stories, Watson has objections to Holmes's plans )

Please comment if you feel like talking about this particular story and its radio/TV versions, or other Holmesian favourites!
