This is so sensual: The smell of Doyle, his sweat, his soap, his very skin had seemed to permeate the air, the scent concentrated most heavily in the tiny lavatory, where the heat and steam had worked alchemy, distilling the essence into a kind of perfume.
I knew it was a mistake to start reading this now, but I couldn't resist. Must go off to do family things. Will continue later. Argh! I will dwell on the image the above conjures up in the meantime.
