Rating: G
Warnings: none
Author’s Notes: I’m bridging the gap between Holmes’ changed opinion of the Turkish baths from ILLU to LADY. Watson must have been very persuasive.
Summary Watson knew that both him and Holmes had been distrurbed by the conclusion of the case. He decided to do something about it.



“Come on, Holmes, off the settee. You have been there since yesterday”

The lump of dressing gown and rug grunted and kept motionless.

“We need a change, a cleanser of the system.”

The lump was unresponsive.

“We should go to the Turkish baths.”

“I have been before,” muttered Holmes.

“But not with me and not at the Northumberland Avenue establishment.”
