I love the Gaiman story, it is poignant, and touching how Holmes remain the constant force for justice against a corrupted order. (In SH stories, it's plain that Holmes is an exception and not the rule. The law can be cruel so there were times when Holmes look the other way, and he always treats people courteously in spite of their different classes, which mattered a lot back then.)
