Summary: Not exactly a happy ending.

***

Another doctor supine on the bearskin, not alone this time.

“Poor child,” Holmes murmured, his chin on Watson’s chest. “To be used as a pawn by such a brother, and to be returned to such a father.”

Watson thought of two other boys in a country squire’s seat born far apart in age, another distant sire, and kissed his lover.

The bearskin rug is seeing a lot of action at the moment ;)

If ACD's gonna put a bearskin rug in 221b I'm gonna use it.

Which has just borne witness to a happier event than Huxtable passing out.

Aw. Hurrah for the bear skin rug.

A refuge for stressed schoolteachers; a haven for weary consulting detectives and the doctors that love them.

A moment's silence for the landlady who is in charge of cleaning the bearskin rug ^___^

Two very neat parallels with the rug and the two sets of brothers - and hopefully young Arthur also has happiness awaiting somewhere ahead.

We can only hope.

I'm sure Mrs. Hudson will take a good deal of vicarious satisfaction in beating the bearskin rug.

Cold, distant, and loveless? That's Victorian aristocratic parenting for you.
