Rating: G

Despite my complete happiness with Mary as my wife I sometimes long for Mrs Hudson’s control of her household servants.  She would not have tolerated Mary Jane’s slapdash ways as long as we have.  On the bright side, I am now able to have the occasional tobacco burn or ink on my cuffs without feeling I need to apologise profusely.

Glad that Doctor Watson can see the bright side and appreciate Mrs. Hudson more.

Mrs Hudson had long experience of dealing with servants who weren't up to scratch - and tenants similarly.

Another view on Mary Jane:-)
Hope she finds a post to suit.

It may be she'll find a household she suits better, or goes into factory work.

This is good. The Watson voice is just right, and the idea also.

Thank you. Watson likes to make the most of what he has.

Perhaps Mary should send the slapdash Mary Jane to Mrs. Hudson. Mrs. Hudson has Holmes as a tenant - she patently loves a challenge ^^

Maybe she has sufficient challenge for one person!
