"I thought you would be happy for him, Mr. Holmes!" Mrs. Hudson exclaimed, rearranging the lunch tray nervously.

Sherlock Holmes grunted in reply, puffing at his pipe silently

"After all," she continued, "Dr. Watson has never been a loner, and Miss Morstan's a lovely girl."

"I never said otherwise," he objected mildly, examining his pipe with disinterest.

Avoiding his gaze, she cleared her throat. "Perhaps seeing this happy union will inspire one of your own."

He glanced at her. Smiled. "Oh, Mrs. Hudson," he said. "After you, what other woman could compare?"

Throwing a clean napkin at him, she giggled.

It was well past ten in the morning, dreary and grey and lifeless outside. She knocked on the door and, hearing no response, opened it to peek in cautiously. Seeing no sign of her lodger, she slipped into the room, placing the tray with the just-arrived telegram on an end table, and turned to leave.

She stifled a gasp of surprise when she saw Mr. Holmes curled up on his chair, sleeping deeply, looking all the world like a child visited by the sandman.

Smiling to herself, she drew a blanket over him, resisting the urge to tuck him in.
