Logic Watson! Give me logic Miss Walden!" Not only was this man rude but he was also bossy; just what I needed in my life. At least his friend 'Watson' is nice enough. I wish they would really make up their minds, was it psychology they wanted or was it philosophy? Clearing my throat I spoke, "How about I get you a both, Sherlock if you don't mind telling me what you need this book for it would be a lot easier to help find you a logical selection." Sherlock seemed surprised to find someone complying so quickly after just denouncing a whole branch of science, one I found some truth in.

In "Could You Be the Next Sherlock?" by Kristen Lewis, Sherlock Holmes is perceived as a mindful man, in "Could You Be the Next Sherlock?" the author states, “Turns out, there is an aspect of Sherlock’s brilliance that we can all develop: mindfulness,” Lewis is implying that Sherlock Holmes is, indeed, a very mindful character.
