A/N: I like the small part we see of Henry Baker, and rather felt he deserved something for the part he played in recovering the Carbuncle.

On a frosty January morning the doorbell rang. I found a familiar figure on the doorstep.

Doctor Watson tipped his hat to me. “Good morning, Mr Baker. I have something for you.” He handed me a cheque. I gazed at it, astonished. “For your part in recovering the Blue Carbuncle,” he smiled. “Happy New Year to you.”

Aw poor Henry Baker who's wife no longer loves him...

He definitely deserves a happy ending.

I'm so happy you gave Henry a happy ending- perhaps he can buy a new hat, find his lost foresight, and make nice with Mrs. Baker. Thank you for this wonderful postscript!

What a nice addition. Well done!

Oh, thank goodness, Henry Baker gets a piece of the money! I was disturbed by the idea that he had the most important part of the recovery of this stone, but that he wasn't going to get anything out of it for his myriad troubles. Ah, now this is so much better. Head canon accepted!
