[It shouldn't be surprising, because family is often a source of conflict, especially in the upper circles of English society. Sholmes himself will soon be shipped off to Oxford, for example, so that he might fully integrate himself into the rank and file. The idea both compels and disgusts; he would like to study the sciences, but only on his own time, and not amid peers who would dull his mind. He is upset, in some ways, with his family because it is not ideal, and yet they'd see him remain there all the same.
(In the future, he will get an entire case out of the friends he makes at university, having to do something with a man named Musgrave and a ritual, but that's years and years from now.)
Still, even this is not on the same level as he would call a... betrayal.]
