Yes, definitely.  All my apprehensions have been realized in regard to
Sirius: It *IS* Dan in L.M. Alcott's _Jo's Boys_ all over again!!  (And
Alcott at least had the graciousness to clearly explain *how* Dan died!)

On the other hand...

Maybe after all Sirius is less like Dan and more like Holmes at
Reichenbach Falls!
