It took another full day before Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson could return to London.  Waiting for news was more tiring than actual travelling.  Eventually, they had to take a carriage to circumnavigate the flooded section of rail and rejoin the line at Birmingham.

At Euston Station, Holmes turned to Watson.

‘So, you’re resolved to remain in Kensington.’

‘Does that make me seem ungrateful, especially when you rushed to Liverpool at my request?’

‘Not at all. It hurts to lose one’s friends. I’m glad I could be there…’

This time. Those words, though unspoken, were nonetheless understood by both men.
