Called to Consider

[rabidsamfan]

"Make the best of things, Holmes. How often have you ever had the chance to observe a gentleman's gentleman in action?"

"It's still insufferable," Holmes said. "How did you tolerate it, all those months when you were an invalid?"

"Badly," I replied. "Although having to be put back into bed because I hadn't the strength to stand was far worse than submitting to being fussed over."

He scowled, but I could see that he had taken the implicit warning to heart. "I don't like having a nursemaid," he insisted.

I couldn't help but laugh. "A nursemaid would be far worse."

Lol! It certainly would! I love their sympathy here; much as we might wish he could have been spared his many sufferings, Watson is a better doctor, and a better friend, for having endured as much as he has.

Hehee.

Holmes dealing with a nursemaid would be pretty entertaining...
