Author's Notes: (I apologise for the title. I was exposed to British ‘70s comedy at an impressionable age.)

“We're not jealous of you at Scotland Yard. No, sir, we are very proud of you…”



“…and so,” concluded Lestrade, “in grateful recognition of all his assistance, Scotland Yard would like to present Mr. Holmes with this bust of himself.”

Everyone clapped.

“It is enormous,” whispered Watson in amusement.

“The scale,” Holmes muttered back, “obviously represents the esteem in which I am held.”

Watson smiled and patted the bust on its outsized cranium.

“Bighead,” he said.

A surnameless Beppo
Hid the pearl at the depot.
Greed and violence only bred sin.
Led to him smashing Napoleon’s heads in.

A/N: There are times when I am entirely predictable!

I have written how Inspector Lestrade’s visits were welcome to Holmes.  What I had omitted to add was how welcome they were to me.  For the sake of form Holmes would always make a point of telling Lestrade that he could rest on the sofa; for none of us would dare to allude that he would be sharing my bed.

Josiah Brown
Though normally jovial did frown
When he saw Napoleon’s bust
Was turning to dust.
