Watson sighed as the lady who had asked for Holmes's help went into hysterics. Holmes shot Watson a pleading look as she suddenly clung on to his jacket and wailed into it.
Watson got up, and pried the woman off Holmes and gave her a cup of tea. She seemed better after a few minutes and turned beet read as she looked as Holmes.
A few weeks later Watson and Holmes were walking down the sidewalk when he saw a few kids pretending to faint and pointing at Holmes. Holmes was intrigued by this and went over to talk to the kids. When he walked back to Watson, he looked disgusted.
"What happened Holmes?" Watson asked as soon as they started back down the path.
"Well, after that lady left, she told her friends how I "Romantically" helped her. Now all the women in London think I'm the best thing since sliced bread." He said with a face of pure horror.
Watson roared with laughter and was laughing so hard, his knees gave out. He rolled on the ground as Holmes covered his face with shame.
