Called to Consider
"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."
