Which sentence in this excerpt from sir arthur conan doyle’s “the adventure of the speckled band” shows that watson considered sherlock holmes to be a role model?
i had no keener pleasure than in following holmes in his professional investigations, and in admiring the rapid deductions, as swift as intuitions, and yet always founded on a logical basis with which he unravelled the problems which were submitted to him. i rapidly threw on my clothes and was ready in a few minutes to accompany my friend down to the sitting-room. a lady dressed in black and heavily veiled, who had been sitting in the window, rose as we entered.
"good-morning, madam," said holmes cheerily. "my name is sherlock holmes. this is my intimate friend and associate, dr. watson, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself. ha! i am glad to see that mrs. hudson has had the good sense to light the fire. pray draw up to it, and i shall order you a cup of hot coffee, for i observe that you are shivering."
"lt is not cold which makes me shiver," said the woman in a low voice, changing her seat as requested.
"what, then? "
"it is fear, mr. holmes. it is terror." she raised her veil as she spoke, and we could see that she was indeed in a pitiable state of agitation, her face all drawn and gray, with restless frightened eyes, like those of some hunted animal. her features and figure were those of a woman of thirty, but her hair was shot with premature gray, and her expression was weary and haggard. sherlock holmes ran her over with one of his quick, all-comprehensive glances.
"you must not fear," said he soothingly, bending forward and patting her forearm. "we shall soon set matters right, i have no doubt. you have come in by train this morning, i see."
"you know me, then? "
"no, but i observe the second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove. you must have started early, and yet you had a good drive in a dog-cart, along heavy roads, before you reached the station."
