After replacing his tea cup, Watson asks, “Will we see your brother again soon?”

“Perhaps.”

Mrs Hudson enters with a telegram which Holmes accepts.

Answering Watson’s curious gaze, Holmes explains that Mycroft sends his regards and that Mr Melas is recovering well. Watson is delighted with the news.

Holmes omits reading aloud the coded portion: ‘I’m impressed by your doctor’.

I suspect the visit to see Mycroft again may be delayed!

Haha. And that's enough brotherly interference for today, thank you very much. ;)

Aw. Big brother approves! :)

The fan in me hopes that he would. :)

Typical of Holmes to leave that out:-p

[mafief.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, absolutely.

‘I’m impressed by your doctor’

Your 60 makes me wonder if this is why Holmes delayed mentioning to Watson he had a brother, and delayed introducing the two of them. He knew Mycroft had greater powers of deduction and he worried, even if he knew he was being foolish, that Mycroft might see something negative about Watson that love was making him blind to.

Maybe that little coded message means far more to Holmes than simply a sibling liking his partner.

Oh! I like your backstory to this 60 very much. It adds another level that I hadn't considered before. So cool.

Aw. Big Brother gives his blessing for the match.
