Answer» ne is spoken by Dr. Watson when Holmes tells him that he didn't really observe Miss Mary Morstan's attractiveness. Though Dr. Watson knows Holmes really well, he finds it astonishing that he can be inhuman as to not notice beauty. Holmes' character is known for having razor- sharp intelligence, a KEEN eye, and extraordinary powers of deduction. However, the character is also emotionally detached and views his CLIENTS as MERE units or FACTORS in a problem. Holmes believes that emotional qualities get in the way of logical reasoning and he does not want his judgment to be biased by the personal qualities of his clients. Since humans are, by their very nature, emotional beings, Watson compares Holmes to a machine because of his ability to REMAIN unaffected by emotion.Mark my brainliest |
