    Summary

    The door closed with a soft click and the mattress dipped behind me. Watson’s solid arm curled around my waist and then up against my chest, and I felt myself gently encouraged to lean back against him. My hand felt the smooth cotton of his sleeve and I could not suppress a nervous bark.
    “Hah! So, you do possess a nightshirt.”

    Summary

    I rather liked the thought of a quiet country retreat. “Then our host likes living here. Had I the money,” I said with a smile to match Holmes’s. “A little cottage by the sea would be my idea of heaven.”
    He looked my reflection in the eye for a few seconds, then clasped my shoulders gently from behind.
    “Let’s go downstairs and see what we can do for Lord Osmington.”

    Summary

    Somehow, Batley had managed to ease his way between them. He took Watson’s arm and looked up at Holmes. “It’s true that we have ten years to fill in,” he said with a smile, then he winked. “But since you and Jacky here are such good friends, wouldn’t you like to know what he got up to in his army days?”
    “Bats, old man, Holmes won’t want to—”
    “I would be delighted!”
    Both old soldiers looked at Holmes. Watson with horror and Batley with glee.
    “Come with me, then. I know just the place.”

    Summary

    “I was referring to the provocation of desire. But how could wine alone be responsible for the thrumming of my heart when you gaze upon me as though I am your own unsolvable mystery? Despite my assurances to the contrary you must see that I am a man with all the weakness that entails.”
    I shivered and rested my hands upon his shoulders. “Am I your weakness, Holmes?”
