A/N: The only way I can make this story make sense...

When I sat down to write up the case, I discovered that any tension was soon sapped from the telling once I revealed Holmes' plan to the reader.

"Perhaps,” Holmes drawled, “you should pretend that you were not involved in the scheme, and were fooled by my consumate dramatic skill. It would not be so hard to believe."

This does seem more logical:-)

Haha! A splendid solution.

That's a sweet one! And very likely, too, isn't it? It'd explain the messed up timeline in the original, and how a doctor of Watson's format wouldn't check on a patient.

Another intriguing aspect to the mystery.

Hehe. That's a very Holmesian suggestion/insult there. Poor Watson -- although Holmes is totally wrong. It's virtually impossible to believe things happened the way they're written. :)
