‘Come now, Lestrade. It wasn’t as bad as all that. Watson was never in any real danger.’

‘There’s nothing wrong with my memory, Mr Holmes. If my constables had not happened by that night, your friend would have been killed.’

‘Nonsense! I would never put Watson at risk.’

‘Did you ask him to stay with the murdered victims whilst you chased after the suspects?’

‘Yes. His leg was acting up and he was slowing me down. It was safer to leave him behind.’

‘And don’t you say that criminals will always return to the scene of the crime?’

‘Yes… Oh.’
