Written just as Conan Doyle would write it, in my opinion. Very good.

CONGRATULATIONS. Thank you very much for sharing. Very well done.

Honestly, Ran.

Hitchhiker's, Dirk Gently, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes? If I weren't so obviously useless, I would suspect you of attempting to bribe me into doing something, probably illegal. As it is, I shall regard the overlapping of our interests as a fortunate happenstance.

(And if you should need a favor... I am your loyal follower, etc.)

This is actually a very good depiction of Holmes, at least how I see him. A very compassionate person; not long on patience, and attached to his solitude, but infinitely loyal to his friends.

I love this.
