Author's Notes: This happens after a certain fallout between Holmes and Jane.

Sherlock had never grown used to nervousness.
“Would you proofread it for me? I don’t want Watson to…”
“Done. I have added some misinformation concerning your methods, and erased the rather too sentimental notes. Do be more careful.”
Jane handed him the manuscript.
“How –“
“Why would Mrs Hudson still put up with you if she wasn’t on our payroll?”

Author's Notes: It's probably the only story I ever found Holmes slightly misogynist in, although even today a lot of people would agree with him. The villain however, or antagonist, as I should say, is superb.

Jane was not amused.
“Clearly, Holmes, your wit must be fading. Persecuting a burglar, very well, but blackmailing a woman over private matters? I had thought you intelligent enough to judge from your own morals, not those of the common mob.”
“Has Miss Winter had this effect on you?”
“Says the bachelor who bought a man to live with him.”

“You don’t like it.”

Doyle didn’t dare reply but his silence did nothing to quench the crestfallen look on Holmes’ face.

“Doctor Watson praised it highly.”

As the person who edited Doctor Watson’s sometimes euphoric accounts he could well believe it.

“Perhaps,” he suggested to lift Holmes’ misery. “If you attempted third person narrative?”

It certainly couldn’t make it worse.

You get all sorts ‘ere.  Take the geezer picking up the old dear’s brolly; likes to make out he’s a toff with all them manners, but he’s a wrong ‘un and you’d do well not to cross him.  There’s something off about the old dear too; I can’t quite put my beak on it, but she ain’t what she seems.

Author's Notes: “My old friend here will tell you that I have an impish habit of practical joking.”



Yelling.

The sounds of a struggle.

Watson dashed up the stairs—to find Holmes alone and smiling. He indicated the gramophone and its record.

“You know my habit of practical joking.”



Mrs Hudson sighed. More shouting and noise.

Then Watson shot past.

“Doctor!” she cried. “That was the gramophone?”

“Indeed,” laughed Watson. “I’ve just thrown it out of the window.”

BLAN – Following the Example
It was a far more difficult task than I ever imagined, writing up one of my cases for public consumption. Far lonelier, too. Each word reminded me of my own soldier’s absence.

But capturing the depths of loyalty between two men, the extraordinary lengths one might go to for the other?  That part was simplicity itself, thanks to long example.

MAZA – Quite the Mystery
I dashed off a telegram, so angry I could hardly fill out the form.  WATSON STOP EXPLAIN MOST RECENT PUBLICATION IN STRAND STOP SH FINAL STOP

A response was not long in coming. HOLMES STOP MOST CONFUSED STOP THOUGHT IT WAS YOURS STOP NOT MY WORK STOP JHW FINAL STOP

I nearly dropped the message. If not Watson, then whom?
