Laurie R. King Quote

Holmes, I asked as we stepped into the street, I realise the question sounds sophomoric, but do you find that there are aspects of yourself with which you feel most comfortable? I only ask out of curiosity; you needn’t feel obliged to answer. He offered me his arm and, formally, I took it. ‘Who am I?’ you mean. He smiled at the question and gave what was at first glance a most oblique answer. Do you know what a fugue is? Are you changing the subject? No. I thought in silence for some distance before his answer arranged itself sensibly in my mind. I see. Two discrete sections of a fugue may not appear related, unless the listener has received the entire work, at which time the music’s internal logic makes clear the relationship.
