Just a little idea that I had to type up in the middle of class just now. :P Enjoy!

Can't sleep

Sherlock's gone to Scotland Yard early to see Lestrade about the most recent case. (More on that later.) We've been back in London for some time now, but I still have dreams of being in the animal cage with the red-eyed 'hound' just around the corner (again, more on that later). I think I'll have a word with him when he gets back.

Red-eyed hound! What's going on! Is this why you haven't been answering my calls?
Harry Watson 16 March 9:14

Yes. Sorry about that, Harry. It's nothing to worry about. We were in Dartmoor for a case—I'm writing up a post for it as we speak. Should be finished in the afternoon.
John Watson 16 March 9:18

Can't wait!
Harry Watson 16 March 9:21

John. How often have I told you that when you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
Sherlock Holmes 16 March 9:42

That doesn't mean you had the right to *poison me*, Sherlock.
John Watson 16 March 9:45

I did not *poison you*. As it turned out, I was wrong about the hallucinogen being in the sugar, and the fog hardly even *approaches* being deadly to your overall health.
Sherlock Holmes 16 March 9:48

I couldn't MOVE in the laboratory. I was scared out of my wits!
John Watson 16 March 9:50

You know my methods, John. I had to be certain. In fairness to you, the experiment worked out favourably. I was correct about the gas leak.
Sherlock Holmes 16 March 9:52

Right. Oh, one more thing: I need your help with my Holmesian. 'Justifying' one's actions = funny little roundabout way of apologising—Yes/no?
John Watson 16 March 9:55

Ignore me all you want, Sherlock. Yes, I know your methods. That doesn't mean I'll always want to humour them.
John Watson 16 March 10:13

And yet here you still are . . .
Sherlock Holmes 16 March 10:16

Quite improbable! I know.
John Watson 16 March 10:19

I'm thankful for it.
Sherlock Holmes 16 March 10:26

. . . I'm going to ace this Holmesian exam.
John Watson 16 March 10:37

Very funny, John. I am on my way home soon.
Sherlock Holmes 16 March 10:40

We're out of sugar.
