I stared at the sitting room, not sure if I was imagining it or if Holmes really had reorganized it yet again. I looked at the complicated network of yarn that looked to be an unraveled piece of knitting that Mrs. Hudson had been working on as it wound it's way around the floor, tied onto various furniture legs. At the center of the complicated web sat a pillow on which the detective perched, studying his incongruous creation in steady silence.
"I dare say Mrs. Hudson is going to be rather furious when she sees that yarn Holmes." I warned him.
He held up a hand flippantly to forestall my lecture and I grinned as I rang the bell to call breakfast up. Seeing the impending confrontation would be delightful. Sometimes sharing a home with the world's worst tenant had its own simple rewards.
More challenges please!
