THE DEVIL’S FOOT – Page Five

Despite Sterndale’s aggressive behaviour toward him, Holmes

tells him that in his opinion his crimes were justified and that

he will not reveal his findings to the constabulary, advising

Sterndale to “return to Africa and kill the other half of the lions.”

Holmes tells Watson that he has never loved, but in the circumstances

“I well may have done as our lawless lion-hunter has done.”

Watson is in complete accord with Holmes’ decision.
