Author's Notes: A woman, young and beautiful... Her calm, pale face, with dim, wide-opened blue eyes, looked upward from amid a great tangle of golden hair.


Afterwards, Holmes was careful of my feelings. But it is four years since Mary died. My only sorrow now… is that I no longer grieve over her.

Mrs. Staunton has gone, and taken the whole world with her. But gradually young Staunton will learn to live in its strange, new replacement—and then, one day, he will call it home.

I respectfully suggest to the good doctor that feeling sorrowful over no longer being a walking open wound is prima facie evidence that one is still grieving.

And also that maybe he should accept the TLC Holmes is attempting to offer.
