Summary:

For the second year in a row, on the anniversary of her death, I saw my wife waiting for me. Holmes had been returned from his sojourn to Europe for nearly a year, alive and whole though worse for wear; I had sold my practice and moved back into Baker Street; and we had begun an affair. It had been since the start of the year, and now I felt the weight of that decision like a millstone as I tried to ignore my dead wife’s presence. I didn’t regret it. Not for a moment. But I hadn’t expected to look her in the eye five minutes after I’d kissed him goodbye.
“I need to know you’re all right, John,” she said.
“I’m all right,” I said, and it was even true.
“I need to know you’re happy.”

Summary: I should like to tell you the story of a beautiful woman and a prince. They met on the shore of Leith, where the prince expected everyone to be amazed by him. The only person who was interested in his stories was a woman with lustrous auburn hair and deep blue eyes that reminded him of the sea.

Summary: Watson slowly made his way towards the stairs but stopped as he passed by Holmes’ closed bedroom door. There were faint noises coming from Holmes’ bedroom, noises of distress. Watson hesitated, unsure of what to do. His instinct was to enter the room and try to help Holmes, but Watson did not know if his help would be welcome, especially as he would have to intrude on Holmes’ personal space to do so.

Summary: When two near-strangers intended to share lodgings, it was best that they knew the worst of each other before they entered into an agreement.

Holmes was an excellent violinist and a habitual user of morphia, but Watson did not know that yet. Nor did he know that he could be reduced to stupefied despair by a full moon.
