‘Holmes, you shouldn’t have come back for me. I just slipped on the wet pavement.’

‘You fell.’

‘But you let Farleigh get away. What will you tell Lestrade?’

‘It was a bad fall, Doctor. You did not get up and that I had to see if you were all right.’

‘Wonderful. The inspector already thinks I impede your investigations. And this proves him right.’

‘Lestrade has never been right about anything before, and he certainly isn’t now. But, if makes any difference, I'll tell him I came back because you had the only umbrella.’

‘Now that, I’m sure, he’ll believe.’

.oOOo.

Yes, I was quick today, and thank you!
Holmes, even at his most disparaging, probably knows that Lestrade will not believe the umbrella bit, but at least it made Watson smile.
