SUSS – Fraternal Bonds
On the journey home, I reflected on Jack Ferguson and his murderous attempts on his baby brother.

My Watson, too, suffered cruelties at the hands of his elder brother, though he has never confided the details.

How fortunate I am in Mycroft! Our relationship might seem strange to some, but I have never doubted his loyalty – or ever feared him.

Watson watched Jane’s face turn to a shade of ivory when she read the latest adventure’s draft.
“What is it, Jane? The adjectives again?”
“Those, too, though admittedly my stomach has grown insensitive.”
She took a deep breath.
“Wouldn’t you say that the boy bears an uncanny resemblance to my beloved eldest brother, may he let us rest in peace?”

Everything would have been well if the ship had not been becalmed and the first mate hadn’t taken it into his head to check the cargo in the hold.  He took fright when he saw me and by the time he was back on deck he was speaking gibberish.  The crew, convinced there was a devil on board, abandoned ship.
