“But the normal filtering mechanism on his mind had been stripped away. The tiniest of sights, sounds, smells competed with the big ones for his attention. It felt like looking at ten million blades of grass and being unable to see a lawn.”

and boy howdy ain’t that us?!
How many times have any one of us heard, smelt, sensed something, asked about it only to learn that no one else is aware of “that”.
I LOVE Laurie King! She writes a series about a character named Mary Russell and it has Sherlock Holmes in it as a major character. So much fun. I didn’t even know she had other books. Thanks!
