“TOM WISHED SOMEONE WOULD PUT BLINKERS ON HIM, SO HE DIDN’T HAVE TO FEEL SO SPOOKED STANDING HERE AMONG ALL THESE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

Ah, thank you.
I look forward to your Tome on Holmes being published to critical acclaim one day (providing the guy who stole your pen drive doesn't submit first, of course... I wonder who he was working for?)
