The resounding feeling I got from this collection was that Sherlock Holmes is a dick. He frightened poor Watson and thought nothing of it. The only friend he has was not important enough to find and tell that he wasn't dead.
The other interesting part of this collection is that Holmes is pulling away from being the main character. He gives many tasks to Watson and just sweeps in at the end to confirm all suspicions. Conan Doyle really was getting tired of the character at this point but must have been getting too much money to consider not writing him anymore.
