Haha! Very funny!
I also love the 'Characters' bit in the heading. "Sherlock Holmes, variable botanist; Dr John H Watson, interrupted breakfaster"
Fit of giggles successfully induced!

Holmes should refrain from philosophical discussion until Watson has finished his egg and toast. Actually, ACD should have refrained totally! I re-read the Naval Treaty and am still shaking my head that the rose scene was even included.
