It was strange to have to send a telegram to Watson. There had been, I admit, a few instances when I had hollered upstairs, only to remember that he was newly settled in his marital home. It was with a strange pang that I noticed his uneven shave. The brightness of Baker Street had always left him neat and clean.

A strange pang, indeed. There's something particularly compelling about Sherlock Holmes forgetting he's alone now and shouting upstairs to Watson's empty room.

Well done.

A Watson without his Holmes is a scruffy one. A very good point to take note of.
