The product of this work is deduction, and conclusion. This happens without one’s manipulation or interference - if one will just let the mind execute its designed function. It connects and compares and then rotates it all and does it again, and again, and again. The mind interprets these things, it finds relationships, it synthesizes. Every mind has the ability to combine pieces of information, all the myriad shreds and bits and chains of data. A child could have arrived at the same conclusion! Thinking is not the domain of the higher mind. Thinking is not calculating, or solving a problem. Just stop it, man! One doesn’t ‘figure’ things out. “How on God’s earth did you ever figure that out?” Watson exclaimed, mouth agape. Just for fun, here are a couple snippets from my novel, exploring Holmes’ mind: I am currently working on a novel titled The Suicide of Sherlock Holmes, so imagine my surprise when I read the title of your next Mary Russell book! I’ve been a Russell devotee since the beginning, and have moved on to your other books and e-books.
