In "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches," Sherlock Holmes discusses the nature of art and deduction with Dr. Watson. Holmes expresses that true appreciation comes from the less significant aspects of life, emphasizing the importance of logic over sensationalism in his detective work. He critiques Watson for embellishing their cases instead of focusing on the reasoning behind them. This conversation takes place on a cold spring morning in their Baker Street residence, where they reflect on their experiences and the art of deduction. Holmes insists that crime is common, but the ability to think logically and draw conclusions is rare, suggesting that this should be the focus of their accounts rather than the sensational aspects of the crimes.
