Author's Notes: I'm sure Holmes meant well. Still....

"You claimed I missed everything of importance," I said, "yet you told MacKinnon otherwise."

"What you did notice was significant," Holmes replied. "You are not without your talents, Watson. I was merely being honest about your attempt to understudy me, which was sadly lacking."

In truth, he doesn't need an understudy. One Sherlock Holmes in the world is quite enough.

And thank you for doing the same! I often fall behind, but I do look forward to reading and posting at this comm. :)
