Canon Story: The Three Garridebs

Rating: G
Author's Notes: I remember the date very well, for it was in the same month that Holmes refused a knighthood for services which may perhaps some day be described. Victoria had died the year before, leaving a minor request in her will…
“So… you’re going to turn it down?” Watson grinned. “But it’s such an honour…”
Holmes scowled. “It’d be different if it was for my work.”
He looked at the letter again.
“But I refuse to tell people it’s because I freed Queen Victoria’s bustle from Mycroft’s armchair!”
Watson laughed.
“Nice to see the old girl retained a sense of humour.”
