Mycroft in The Case of Death and Honey
Did anyone notice that in the scene of Mycroft's death he predicted several key future events? I personally truly enjoy Mycroft's character and thought it was humorous to have him see the independence of India, the Russian revolution, and as he put it 'the German problem' or as one could surmise World War I/II. Anyways I just thought it was worth a tip of the hat to the author for including Mycroft in this story if only briefly.

Mycroft has always been my favorite character in the Sherlock Holmes stories! Even though his appearance was so short in the story, it was my favorite part, because everything he said was so quintessentially Mycroft. He knows that he plays a huge role in the British Empire, and he's not afraid to acknowledge his importance simply because it's true.
ReplyDeleteYeah, as if Sherlock solving crimes in newspapers before finishing the articles isn't incredible enough, we also have Mycroft predicting the future events like there is no doubt that they will occur. Their childhood must have been quite something.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it would be interesting to hear about some of the Holmes family's adventures when Sherlock and Mycroft were younger. Like "The Holmes Brothers: The Teenage Years".
