.oOOo.

‘Mr Holmes, what were you thinking?’ demanded Inspector Lestrade upon entering the holding cells. ‘You must have known that your presence in that pub would cause a brawl.’

My fellow-lodger stood but, knowing I would collapse, did not leave my side.

‘It was a calculated risk. I needed some information and I was sure you could dismiss the charges.’

Lestrade huffed in indignation. ‘I can, but it would serve you right if I left you here a while longer.’

‘I’m sure you would do that to me, but would you do that to Watson?’

Lestrade cursed and led us out.

.oOOo.

And no doubt Lestrade helped Watson to a cab, glaring at Holmes all the time.
