    Summary

    camaraderie: noun: kahm-RAH-duh-ree: mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

    from Merriam Webster:

    "Camaraderie made its first appearance in English in the middle of the 19th century. It comes from camarade, the French word whose Middle French ancestor was also the source for our word comrade. In Middle French, camarade was used to mean "roommate," "companion," or "a group sleeping in one room." It derived by way of Old Spanish from the Late Latin camera, or camara, meaning "chamber." We also have the word comradery, which means the same thing as camaraderie but did not take the same etymological route as its synonym. That word, formed by attaching the -ry suffix (as found in wizardry and citizenry) to comrade, didn't appear in English until almost 40 years after camaraderie."

    Bookmark Notes:

    Sherlock Holmes lives a lonely life, with only his Work to occupy his time. Between cases he walks the city observing people enjoying each others company until he's exhausted, then he goes home alone until called for the next case. John Watson, back in London after being invalided after sustaining injuries that make him unable to do either of the things he trained for, healer or soldier; a sociable man who meets a few mates for drinks once or twice a month, but basically a loner.

    He and Sherlock bump into each other one stormy night outside the pub and John sees how soaked and weary the tall, slender man is, invites the stranger to his bedsit a few streets away, to dry off and have a hot cup of tea. It's a random kindness, a way to be useful, and Sherlock accepts. Little do they know what a profound difference this night will make for both of them.
