Even if it's not canon (I might've forgotten if it were), I may adopt it as a headcanon. It's adorable.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-09 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)Ah, yes, after the marine, he's a bit more subdued/cautious about accepting Watson's praise:
"...all facts which led me to believe that he had been a sergeant.”
“Wonderful!” I ejaculated.
“Commonplace,” said Holmes, though I thought from his expression that he was pleased at my evident surprise and admiration.
But the blushing part comes a few hours later in that same day, when they're coming back home from Lauritson Gardens after Holmes shows up Lestrade and Gregson with his big deduction of what Drebber's murderer looked like, and then explains it to Watson:
"You know a conjurer gets no credit when once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.”
“I shall never do that,” I answered; “you have brought detection as near an exact science as it ever will be brought in this world.”
My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.

Now how come I never get to see that in any of the adaptations?

That being said...I think the Bert Coules radio dramatization of A Study in Scarlet might have this scene in it? I only managed to listen to part of it, and that scene wasn't the part I heard, but judging from what I did hear, it seems a good bet that they would have adapted that scene. Not quite the same as seeing it, but still. Anyone who has heard it wanna elaborate?

BBC Radio version report
In the second scene you mention, Holmes takes the compliment apparently in his stride, being too busy continuing to explain the mystery, before saying he want to go to a concert. Merrison!Holmes is a bit of a show-off but gives the impression of being more interested in the facts than himself.
