Author's Notes: He bore no grudge against Bartholomew Sholto...


I have cause to be grateful to St. Bartholomew.

I met Holmes at Bart's; I met Mary because of Thaddeus Sholto and his unfortunate brother.

An odd patron saint for an army doctor perhaps. Though ‘neurological diseases’ come under his protection...

And as Mary teases:

“Choosing to put up with Mr. Holmes and me? Why, you need your head examining.”

Bart as your patron saint? Don't have a cow, man!

I will have to pass your message on to Watson later - he and Holmes have gone to Simpson's in the Strand ^^

Very fitting when you think about it.

It makes sense to me ^^

Well pointed out, well written, and it must have happened. Thanks for this good glimpse of their marriage.

Aw, I do love how she teases him. And yes, with the benefit of hindsight, it is all perfectly clear!
