Author's summary: Whenever Holmes told the story later, he always paused at this point and said, “and that’s when everything descended into farce,” with a dry chuckle. At the time, however, it had not seemed a laughing matter.

Reccer's comments: [livejournal.com profile] ariadnes_string is no stranger to the rec list here, and with reason; she writes very well. This is one of my go-to “I’m feeling sick and I want sick!fic” stories, one that never fails to put a smile on my face.
