The adventure doesn’t stand out from various other Holmes stories, but the story does stand out for Holmes’s show of emotion and concern

There is some racist language in this short story that doesn't age well. The plot itself was good and interesting.

"I didn't mind the wound -I wouldn't have minded many wounds- because if I hadn't been hurt, I would have never known the loyalty and love that Holmes felt for me, feelings which he almost always hid beneath his unemotional expressions and manners."
