I too am not familiar with the sources here, but I am always up for a tale featuring Mycroft and I enjoyed this one very much.
Lord Hornblower stared at Mycroft for just a beat longer, then leaned forward and shuffled the papers on his desk. He pulled a sheet out from under a pile that he had not touched yet. He read it over, then handed it to Mycroft.
"I have a small problem I need handled," Lord Hornblower said, nodding down at the paper.
Mycroft looked over it.
"You may rely on me, sir," he said, without hesitation.
