Author's Notes: At half-past seven next morning, in the first glimmer of daylight, I found him standing by my bedside in his dressing-gown.



Holmes burst into Watson’s bedroom.

“It wasn’t the manager!”

“Holmes, what the..?”

“Get up, my boy. The game is afoot!”

Abruptly, Holmes exited and Watson sighed. He turned to the figure stirring beside him.

“I must apologise for Holmes.”

“Well, he’s never staying here again,” said Mary, trying not to laugh. “Next time he can go home to Baker Street.”

Thanks ^^ Of course, last week we had Holmes staying over with the Watsons, and I've also recently read a couple of the older 60s which talk about Holmes coming into Watson's bedroom. This just popped into my head ^^

Somehow I agree with Mary Watson!

Oh, bless Holmes and his Bohemian ways ^_^ I think Mrs Watson may eventually forgive him... ^^

Last line works particularly well:-)

Thank you - I was pleased with it ^_^

*lol* Priceless. And exactly how I imagine Watson's married life. :)

Mrs. Watson must have been a very understanding woman, I think ^^

*cracks up* Terribly indecorous of Holmes, I must say :D It's a good thing Mary got to know her husband while she was a client of Holmes's. She had a decent idea of what she was in for when they married!

"Indecorous" is precisely the right word ^^ I think Mary liked Holmes - going by what little we see of her after her marriage, she certainly seemed to encourage her husband to continue his friendship with him.
