    Summary

    "Dabbing my fevered brow with eau de cologne wasn’t part of the arrangement, that’s all. Already under a wretched enough obligation to you for the board and lodging, let alone drawing possibly unwelcome attention to your cosy little hideaway. Wouldn’t want to compound the felony by being underfoot here too.”

    In which Bertie strongly suspects he's making a nuisance of himself. He's not wholly correct.

    Summary

    "I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to get him out of London for a time. I’m a little worried about him, I must say. His recent experiences have been hard on him."

     

    When London's stress and smog don't seem to be suiting a recovering von Stalhein, Bertie invites him to Chedcombe to convalesce: a few weeks spent riding through the rolling countryside ought to be just the ticket. But with a storm gathering on the horizon and a Soviet agent on the loose, the country air may not be as healthy as they'd hoped.

    Summary

    John says "I love you." Sherlock is confused. More data is needed.

    The first time John says it, he’s furious, left hand clenching and unclenching, smiling that vicious little smile. That smile is a weapon and it thrills Sherlock – except, for some reason, when it’s directed at him. Sherlock’s sitting on the closed lid of the toilet, bare chested, the side of his body a long line of blossoming blue and black blood below pale skin.

    Summary

    "You really think you could do your usual trick just by looking at someone's hands, old man?"

    "Most certainly."

    Holmes's eyes twinkled at me challengingly from behind a puff of tobacco smoke.

    "Perhaps you'd care to demonstrate?" I asked, playing along.

    "My dear Watson, I would be delighted."

    Holmes and Watson both try their hands at some deduction.
