However, there is one word missing! I don't really know what you wanted, so if you would like to reply again, you can add another word and I'll wiggle it in. :/ hope this suffices. Thank you so much for your compliment too!
Mycroft shifted uneasily as the smoke wafted up from his pipe. The man speaking seemed to be aware of several factors that he wasn't saying and Mycroft glanced sideways at his brother, who seemed to have the same opinion.
"You say you left out the screwdriver on the table after your work?" Sherlock asked again.
The man nodded, looking quite pale. Of course, anyone charged with the murder of his wife would be. The blue eyes looking back at them nodded, filled with tears. "And someone used it to murder her!" He answered before looking down at the carpet to try to compose himself. "I just wish Jacques had been around."
"Jacques?" Sherlock repeated with a curious expression.
The man gave a shrill whistle and the next thing Mycroft was aware of was a massive white and brown animal kissing his face with a large tongue.
"Down Jacques!" The man called, trying to restrain the animal.
Finally, the Saint Bernard was called down and Mycroft rose to try to wipe away the layer of fur that had been left on his suit. He looked over at Sherlock, who was smiling and making no attempt to muffle his laughter at the situation.
"Hush." Mycroft hissed.
"Oh dear brother mine, I would say you made a friend!" Sherlock replied, continuing to chuckle.
