As it seems, I have mistakenly posted the prompt that was meant to be for the seventh, as chapter six. Therefore, this prompt is the actual prompt for the sixth, and the last prompt was meant for the seventh.


From Madam'zelleGiry:

Day 6: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

As Holmes and Watson sat by the fireplace, the lilting voices of carol singers drifted up from the street below.

"Carolers? On a night as cold as this?" Watson exclaimed, rising from his chair, wincing at the pain in his leg awakened by the bitter winter air.

"Not just any carolers, my dear fellow," Holmes said, not even bothering to open his eyes. "It is our young friends, the Irregulars, who are out tonight." He suddenly bolted out of his chair and strode to the door. Opening it, he shouted, 'Mrs Hudson! Tell our guests to come inside!"

Before long, a group of small boys had made their way inside, and were rapidly devouring the hot chocolate Mrs Hudson had kindly provided, to a chorus of approving noises.

"What about another carol?" Watson asked, as he noticed the boys finishing their mugs.

The boys exchanged glances, smiling and nodding, before bursting into song. "God rest ye merry gentleman, let nothing you dismay!" Smiling while continuing to sing, the boys made their way out the door, their song lingering behind them.
