    Summary

    "What does that mean---tame?"

    "It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

    "To establish ties?"

    "Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other."

    ---Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

    Summary

    Young Sherlock is playing hold-it games, while Mycroft grapples with the nature of power and desire:

    Now darkness is finally closing in around the mullion windows and this is the time of day Mycroft likes best. The gardens are all shadows and silhouettes and they’re alone, just him and Sherlock. And the au- pair of course, but Anna’s insignificant, a nothing, a nobody. Nevertheless, a promise is a promise, even when it’s only made to get what one wants.
