But in calling Moriarty a criminal you are uttering libel in the eyes of the law — and there lie the glory and the wonder of it! The greatest schemer of all time, the organizer of every deviltry, the controlling brain of the underworld, a brain which might have made or marred the destiny of nations — that’s the man! But so aloof is he from general suspicion, so immune from criticism, so admirable in his management and self-effacement, that for those very words that you have uttered he could hale you to a court and emerge with your year’s pension as a solatium for his wounded character. Is he not the celebrated author of The Dynamics of an Asteroid a book which ascends to such rarefied heights of pure mathematics that it is said that there was no man in the scientific press capable of criticizing it? Is this a man to traduce? Foulmouthed doctor and slandered professor — such would be your respective roles! That’s genius, Watson."

"He was aware that she belonged to his life like a room or a chair: she was something which completed him. What was most evil in him needed her; it couldn't get along without goodness. He smirked at the pair of them, nostalgia driven out by a surge of sad sensuality. She was good, he'd discovered that, and he was damned : they were made for each other."

Similar to the television Channel "Dave" - Lou's head is also [coincidentally] the home of witty banter.

My name is Lou. I love big words. I use, commas too often. I got a "D" in my English GCSEs. I spend my time marrying fictional men. I have a stamp collection. I want to grow up and study the human brain. I read Conan Doyle's Holmes' stories far too often. I quote the books too often. I think about Andrew Scott too often. I have a book specific to lists. I overthink everything. I am lackadaisical. I have a really horrendous sweet-tooth. I talk too much. I hate not knowing how to spell things. Prawns will kill me. Other allergies include soya and work.

Anyway. Hello!
