It was with some satisfaction I was able to telephone Holmes and tell him that somehow Lestrade and I had missed the last train back, and we would therefore unfortunately need to spend the night at an inn.  I do not think Holmes believed me, but there was nothing he could do about it.  I have learnt from the best.

Sneaky old Watson ^___^ And perhaps it will teach Holmes a lesson too - to actually let Watson know what's going on in a case ^^

Somehow, with Holmes' continuing love for the dramatic, I doubt this will have much effect.

Yes, the sauce that's good for the Holmes is good for the Watson (not sure who's the goose and who's the gander here; they're both squawky).

Watson's thoughts entirely - Holmes is less convinced.

Holmes is so upset he's going to sulk all night in the broom cupboard with Hopkins.

The best possible plan in the circumstances ;)

Executed with great pleasure.

A well-deserved holiday, in my opinion!

Most certainly!
