Summary:  Watson comes for one of his weekend visits.

***

“I read your ‘Lion’s Mane’ in the Strand.”

Writing It had been excruciating – and I knew it was not half as good as Watson’s lesser accounts. After years of my castigating him for his writing style…

He tapped my beer glass with his own. “It’s such hard work getting the words down just right, isn’t it?”

I’ve never deserved Watson.

Lost without his Boswell

And Boswell is lost without his Johnson.

Funny how things seem easy until you try them yourself.

Aw. Very noble of Watson not to go for the 'told you so.'

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Watson is a true hero - and heroes do not say "I told you so."

Want to switch places, buddy? Fine. Here's the basketball, go after those 6'7" players who are already mad at you. I'll sit up here drinking beer and calling you names.

If only Holmes was always this gracious about Watson's detective skills ^___^ Trust Watson to take the noble course of action.

Holmes is the better detective - but Watson is the better man.

Too bad they don't love the dickens out of each other or anything.

Aw! Good ol' Watson. :)

Forget flowers, chocolates or offering your life in exchange for another's - true love is never saying "I told you so."
