*Exclaim* Hi Dragonwoman! Nice story! I remember when I used to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Data used to love to visit the Sherlock world at the Halodeck. Your story reminded me of that and brought back fond memories.

Well done with adding the actual title right into the dialog between two people. I never noticed that done before and you slid it right in smoothly.

The idea that it's not easy to prove that a person or people 'saw nothing' will provoke thought in your readers. It's so true, but I never thought about that before. I liked how Sherlock didn't just interpret that as a done deal, but instead questioned it to the inspector. I could imagine Sherlock, wearing his great coat and walking up to the inspector. I had to look up what a 'greatcoat' was. I figured it might have been an overcoat, but I wasn't sure.

I felt that you stuck to the main point of the story while adding in those tiny little details, such as the coat and walking stick, and also about having Holmes pay the cab driver while Sherlock walked straight up to the police officer.

I could imagine Sherlock and Holmes taking a better look at the people who saw nothing to see if they seemed visually impaired. It's a good thing he had a notebook handy to write down his findings. Today, he would probably just take notes on his phone! You gave your character the intelligence in your words that we all expect from Sherlock. He figured if they didn't see anything, maybe they heard something.

I loved the closure that you gave to this story. 'There's more than one way to 'see' a crime! So true. *Smile*
