    Summary

    DI Lestrade said Sherlock Holmes was a great man, and one day, if they were very lucky, he might be a good one. John Watson is many things, but lucky isn't one of them.

    This is the story of how the impossible happens.

    Summary

    ' "Really, Watson, you excel yourself," said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette. "I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt." ' - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Hound of the Baskervilles"

    Summary

    When Sherlock invites John to live with him, he fails to mention that he's a single father to a four-year-old girl.

    When it comes, will it come without warning
    Just as I'm picking my nose,
    Will it knock on my door in the morning
    Or tread in the bus on my toes,
    Will it come like a change in the weather,
    Will its greeting be courteous or bluff,
    Will it alter my life altogether?
    O tell me the truth about love.

    W.H. Auden, "O Tell Me the Truth About Love."
