‘Holmes, what is the matter?’

My friend was sombre upon his return from his morning walk.

‘There has been a coup and they’ve murdered the queen.’

My face betrayed my emotions. Her Majesty had been Britain’s reigning monarch for all of my life. I was educated in her schools. I had marched under her banner. It would be the end of an era. Who could have been so bold? Foreign spies? Anarchists? Irish nationalists?

‘Not our sovereign, my dear fellow! I’m sorry to have alarmed you so,’ he said as he revealed the tiny apian body cradled in a matchbox.

Geez, Holmes! How else did you think Watson was going to interpret that sentence!?

Holmes is a smart man, but he isn't thinking all the time.
