Series: Sherlock Holmes (recent BBC adaptation)
Requested Topic: Holmes and Watson exchanging gifts on Christmas morning (you may interpret this however you wish)! :D
Due to http://incandescens.livejournal.com/925482.html
“Christmas? No, I’d quite forgotten . . . oh, I suppose I should say thank you.”
A pause.
“Do shut up, John, I’m working out what’s inside it.”
Another pause.
“Interesting rattle, a certain extra tick-tick when I shake it like this which suggests a piece is either broken off or hanging at an angle. All right, I’m sure it wasn’t broken when you wrapped it up. Really. Stop complaining.”
Pause.
“It’s a copy of the skull cup that Byron owned which he found at Newstead Abbey. Yes, I saw you buying it yesterday . . . why are you looking at me like that, John?”
