I really enjoyed this, the Holmes/Watson voices are wonderful:
"What's more, your ability to follow a case through to the end when even I am uncertain of where it will lead is-" Holmes pauses, for effect, and watches as Watson starts to come around, wholly in spite of himself, the clock in his head ticking inexorably from teatime to half-past mortal peril. "-invaluable."
no subject
