Epilogue
Three months later.
‘Mrs. Hudson and John went to the tomb.’
‘Yes, they did.’
‘You were not there.’
‘No, I wasn’t.’
There was a long pause.
‘Any news to share with me?’
‘Say, Anderson’s got beat up.’
‘Yes I heard of that.’
‘No surprises.’
‘Why so cranky, may I ask?’
‘You call me “cranky”? Tell me what sort of becoming manners to hold as that little bastard is not actually dead?’
Here came an even longer one.
‘So you knew. Surprise!’
‘Save it, Mycroft! Do you really think I’m but of a room-temperature IQ?’
‘Such thing never came to me!’
‘I’d been you for weeks and I know what Holmes boys are thinking!’
‘And you’re thinking as one.’
‘Never even try to fool a Scotland Yarder ever! Keep it in mind!’
‘I swear I will. Apologies.’
‘Accepted!’
Now it was easy.
‘Since that…’
‘Pretending nothing ever happened?’
‘I am correct to justly count on you!’
‘Have I any choice? Sally cried her eyes out, blaming herself for that matter. She’s sending him to real death if it comes out.’
‘Oh, I have no doubt on her force. Let’s make it merely between us, shall we?’
‘…I don’t promise not to punch him in face!’
‘He’s all yours.’
‘Deal!’

尾声
三个月后。
“哈德森太太和约翰去墓地了。”
“恩，去了。”
“你没去。”
“恩，没去。”
静静无声。
“有什么消息要分享的么？”
“有，安德森被揍了。”
“恩，我听说了。”
“毫不意外。”
“怎么这么不耐烦呢？能跟我说说么？”
“你说我‘不耐烦’？那你说，我该怎么做才是举止得体？丫小混蛋根本就没死。”
一片死寂。
“这么说你知道了。意外！”
“省省吧，麦克劳夫特！你真以为我的智商就室温那么高么？”
“从没这么以为过！”
“我当过几个礼拜的你，我知道你们姓福尔摩斯的都是怎么个回路！”
“你现在也跟得上了。”
“绝对不要试图去愚弄苏格兰场出来的人！给我记住咯！”
“我发誓我记住了！非常抱歉。”
“道歉接受！”
气氛轻松。
“既然这样…”
“装作啥事儿都没发生过？”
“我就知道，你完全靠得住！”
“我还有选择余地么？萨莉眼都要哭瞎了，为那事儿自责不已。这要是捅出来，她能真弄死他。”
“噢，毫不怀疑她的实力。那就我们俩知道，好么？”
“…不保证我不会一拳揍他脸上！”
“任凭处置。”
“成交！”
