10 Things the Account Never Filed

1. At the age of six and six months, Mycroft Holmes was told he'd soon have a younger sibling in which to play with. For most 6 year olds, it would have been a most delectable offer, but Mycroft was not a child of play and was thus not looking forward to the young babe.

2. He had hoped his younger sibling would be a girl.

3. At the age of 11, he committed one of his very few fax pas of his youth in the form of breaking a rather expensive vase, in a rush of fear and panic he had blamed his 3 year old brother Sherlock.

4. He only felt slightly remorseful for this due to the fact that Sherlock would, on many future occasions, do something displeasing and be punished for it. Occasionally this bordered on the extreme and thus he often times would sneak into the young lad's room and help apply the ice to keep the swelling down.

5. Though he had some his brother's less fine qualities, he never assumed bachelorhood would be one of them. Had he been asked at the age of 20 he would have proudly stated that there was no doubt of him getting married within the next 10 years.

6. He was quite positive that he was favored over his eccentric counterpart, and yet he could have sworn that he saw a glimmer of pride mothers eyes after he personally showed her the very first story in the Strand, he only wished Sherlock had been there to witness it.

7. He could not for the life of him figure out why he was so very large. He ate no more than any other man; he supposed it had something to do with the new trend of exercise.

8. After finding Sherlock vomiting in his room one night, he became so angry at the young boy he actually went through the effort of finding a rare spider and hiding it in the boy's bed.

9. If he was not very much mistaken, which, he was sure he was not, Sherlock still held the scare of where the spider had bitten him.

10. However, he knew that he was forgiven for this small sin the day he received a telegraph from his dead brother, and he knew at once that family truly was the strongest bond.
