"I've come to thank you," the man said, looking awkward. "You have done so much, I thought it only right to give you my thanks. You have looked after him for so many years. I know that the path we follow is not an easy one, but you never asked him not to accompany me on my various - misadventures. And for that-" The man broke off.
When he continued, it was in a much quieter tone. "Thank you for looking after him."
Sherlock Holmes walked away, leaving behind him a grave reading 'Mary Watson, Beloved Wife. She will be missed.'
