So, basically
Sherlock: So, friend, thanks for being such a help, can you meet me at 10 tonight to wrap this whole jiffy up?
Watson: Of course, Homie. Anything for you, friendo.
Sherlock: Thanks dude, you’re the best. Oh, also, don’t forget to bring your gun.
Watson: Ye- Wait, wh-
Sherlock: There’s a slight possibility we might die
Watson: Wait hold on-
Sherlock: * backflips away *

@Sherlock Holmes Stories Magpie Audio When Watson remarks that Holmes is the benefactor of the human race, Holmes replies with a quote.
He shrugged his shoulders. “Well, perhaps, after all, it is of some little use,” he remarked. “ ‘L'homme c'est rien—l'oeuvre c'est tout,' as Gustave Flaubert wrote to George Sand.” (p. 18)
This is a paraphrase of a famous quote in French which basically translates to: The man is nothing, the work is everything. This quote is intended to demonstrate Holmes’s lack of desire for the spotlight. The puzzle is what matters to him.
My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so. (p. 18)
Thus Holmes solves cases not to be famous or help others, but to avoid being bored.

@captain_lynn2179
Not to be rude (13 year old typing), if you are blind how can you tell where to type? Not trying to be offensive, just curious.

@Loic Tabellion If he's truly blind, he will not be able to read your comment.

@Captain Loki On the iPhone there’s a feature called VoiceOver that speaks what’s on the screen, so you know what letter you are selecting. There’s also dictation, which does a fairly good job of transcribing your voice into text. If it’s a physical keyboard, then there bumps on the key of F and J that let you know the correct hand placement.
