Number 6 is faced with a choice now, because it's quite apparent that from the doctor's point of view these stories were all written by him (and of course they were in his point of view) with no mention of Sir Doyle at all. What an awkward position to be in. It's possible it's just a delusion. If it is just that, does he care to challenge the man?

"They were a fascinating read and an admirable tribute." He's chosen to let the issue lie for now, apparently.

"Though, I hope the revelation the Captain gave to you does not make them too bittersweet in retrospect."
