“Sherlock Holmes!”
“Gah!”
“It is four in the morning, and if I have to go up there to make you stop that racket, I will make you sorry.”
“Mrs. Hudson!”
“I never minded you coming and going at all hours, up and down the stairs like a bloody elephant – do you know how many steps we have, Sherlock?”
“Sixteen, but–”
“And before this bloody lockdown I could hear you clomping up and down every single one. And I’ve never complained about your experiments, Sherlock, or your mess”
“Never?”
“But all I ask is that, once in a while, you let me sleep through the night!”
“Sorry, Mrs. Hudson.”
“Oh. John.”
“Yeah, sorry. We got a little, er, carried away.”
“Oh dear. I assumed it was one of Sherlock’s experiments.”
“In a way. I got John to –”
“Don’t look so smug, young man I’m still cross. If you could move that ‘experiment’ of yours up to John’s bedroom, that would be a help.”
“Of course.”
“Thank you.”
“But just one thing, Mrs. Hudson?”
“Yes, Sherlock?”
“Maybe don’t use the video call function next time.”
