Sherlock Holmes, rejuvenated at long last by finally getting a full night’s sleep joined me at the breakfast table.

‘Good morning, Watson,’ he chirped with the cheeriness usually reserved for the denouements of particularly problematic cases.

‘You slept well, I take it?’

‘Splendidly! Thank you for your recommendation. A good book was just the ticket.’

I scanned my bookshelf and, finding no gap, asked, ‘Which one did you choose?’

‘The one on your nightstand. You were sleeping. I didn’t think you would mind-’

The sneaky devil had lifted my Bible!

‘-Made it to Chapter Five… all those begattings. So soporific.’


.oOOo.
