‘Good morning, Mr Holmes. I just popped by to see how your doctor is faring.’
‘He’s out of pain. The opiates have seen to that, but in his delirium he has been regaling the household with passages from The Bard.’
‘No wonder you look like hell. That’s the trouble with the educated: full of “Once more unto the breach” and “What a piece of work is a man!” Now, take your working class: he’d be “Ow, me ‘ead! Ow, me ‘ead!” or such like.’
‘Alas, Lestrade, you forget that Watson is a Scot, and as such, his Bard is Burns.’
.oOOo.
