How does Holmes react to Watson's theories?

Answer 1

Usually, Holmes is very encouraging at first, making comments like - "Good... good...Excellent!" - "What do you make of this...." - Though after Watson has made his deduction, Holmes turns around and says something along the lines of, "I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your conclusions were erroneous."

From that point, Holmes will go off on his rant about where Watson went wrong in his deductions and almost with an arrogant pride, Holmes will point out what he (Sherlock Holmes) had deduced, and how easy it was for Holmes to have come to such an assumption.
