The Solitary Cyclist
“Good man.”
In the third gif you can see Holmes shift back a bit, like “oh sh**, dangerous, this horse can run us over”.
But Watson, the fearless soldier hesitates not a blink, stops the horse as his friend orders him to do.
Seriously, stopping a wild gone horse with a carriage, that is freaking dangerous! Watson, man, you have no fear at all in your bones!I would have told Holmes ; go and stop that horse yourself, I am out! 😉
I love this scene from The Solitary Cyclist, Watson stops the runaway horse in a display of fearless strength and Holmes is unabashedly turned on by it. The way Holmes says ‘Good man’ is so lustful that all I ever here is
“I am so going have you Watson, right here right now!”
It’s the Victorian version of the look that present day Sherlock gives John when….well all the time really.
H: Baby stop that carriage.
W: I’M GONNA WRECK IT
H: Dang that is a fine-ass man.
