Notes: Holmes' PoV.

Many thanks to hardboiledbaby for her help with proofreading.


"Watson," said Holmes, "I have some recollection that you go armed upon these excursions of ours."
It was as well for him that I did so, for he took little care for his own safety when his mind was once absorbed by a problem so that more than once my revolver had been a good friend in need. I reminded him of the fact.
"Yes, yes, I am a little absent-minded in such matters."


“You have your revolver, I trust?”

“Of course I do, Holmes. I never go unarmed, unlike you, when you drag me to heaven knows where.” Watson shot me a reproving look.

“Oh, my dear Watson, you cannot be more wrong.” I smiled at him. “I am always armed.”

After all, I seldom venture into dangerous situations without my trustworthy Boswell.

And what else could he possibly need?

*mischievous grin*
A toothbrush and a clean shirt. Or was that a nightshirt?
(Sorry, I'm unable to remember in exactly which case Holmes said that.)

One can trust Watson. After all, he's a Doctor.

What a lovely tribute from Holmes: to Watson, and to their partnership ^^

(And sorry, laurose8 ^^" I initially accidentally left this as a reply to your comment, and had to delete it.)

What I agree with, and didn't put half as well.

Holmes is right. He would be lost without his Boswell. ^^
