The setting

Watson explica por que ela é «a» mulher: pela raridade com que Holmes usa outro nome.

A note on this passage

Watson mede o espanto pela raridade: quase nunca ouviu Holmes chamá-la de outra coisa senão «a mulher». Num homem que tudo nomeia e classifica, recusar-lhe um nome comum é a maior das distinções.
