Summary: I wondered for whom the plans were drawn up.

***

Mr. Sidney Johnson, his face drawn from the shock of the last few days, presented the complete set of plans to the commander. “They are all safe, sir, as you see.”

The white-bearded man in an epauletted band uniform spread them out. "Perfect! Down to the colour of the finished submarine.”

His four crewmembers agreed in chorus: “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Note: "...that secret history of a nation which is often so much more intimate and interesting than its public chronicles..."

Holmes snorted.

“Something amusing?”

“Your latest drivel. Really, Watson, as if you weren’t by my side when her Majesty gave me that tie-pin! And this, ‘I saw something in his eyes which was nearer to tenderness than I had ever seen’! In that horrid Italian place?! Your florid verse hides more than the yellow fog.”

“Secret histories, my dear Holmes.”

Author's Notes: “It is as if you met a tram-car coming down a country lane. Mycroft has his rails and he runs on them.”


“...and after scolding the naughty thief, Sherlock the Submarine and John the Tank Engine returned the secret plans to Mycroft the Tram-car. And then they all lived happily ever after!”

Little Godfrey narrowed his eyes at Nanny. From what the other chaps had been saying at school, he strongly suspected she was censoring the Sherlock Holmes stories in some way.
