Holmes and Watson dance a waltz with each other. In public. While wearing tuxedos. Yes, really.*
- Watson doesn’t miss a beat when Holmes asks him to, either. Instead, he just replies, “I thought you’d never ask.”
- And then Holmes comments on Watson’s good dancing skills to which Watson replies that he taught him to dance. This is followed by a bashful smile and a glance, no less.
- They can’t even pretend that these dance lessons were to practice for the ladies either, seeing as Holmes apparently taught Watson the girls’ steps.
- And the dance itself? They moved seamlessly into position, no bickering (for once) about who would lead, further indicating that they’ve done it plenty of times before.
- This crosses over directly into tearjerker territory: this dance was Holmes’s and Watson’s goodbye.
