Lestrade was not impressed at being referred to as my wife.  I was not impressed at the reasons Holmes stated for my being the ideal helpmate.  I can only assume fear of the dire consequences if he had said anything untoward regarding Mrs Hudson caused him to ignore her entirely.  The man should not be let loose with a pen.

The man should not be let loose with a pen. So, so true ^___^ And it is noticeable he doesn't mention Mrs. Hudson - I suppose Holmes is not a complete fool ^__^

Even Holmes has some inbuilt self-preservation.

Yep, give the pen back to Watson, there's a good detective:-p

You can see Mrs Hudson taking the pen out of Holmes' fingers, can't you.

The indignation is palpable! Poor Watson!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Quite - so very not impressed!

"Not as easy as it looks, eh Holmes?"

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

He's slowly coming to that realisation.

Luckily for Holmes, Watson is both a gentleman and a true friend, so he will NOT say "I told you so."

But the raised eyebrows will convey the meaning perfectly well.

He thinks he is sooooo much wittier than he is!

And yes, I'm glad to see he has enough sense not to tweak Mrs. Hudson!

The consequences would not have been pleasant!
