Author's Notes: “I am glad to see that Mrs. Hudson has had the good sense to light the fire.”



Mrs. Hudson noticed the poker was slightly twisted and Mr. Holmes explained about the late Dr. Roylott.

“But you shouldn’t have straightened it out!” she scolded. “Showing off to Dr. Watson—you might have injured yourself!”

He blandly denied showing off to anyone but she saw the smile.

Just like the poker, Mr. Holmes’ poker face had a definite curve.

Holmes wanting to impress Watson in a very manly way is really the only reasonable explanation for the whole poker episode. I love your wording of the last line - beautiful.
