The party in Mrs. Hudson’s quarters was now in full swing.

Up in 221B, Watson smiled weakly at Holmes.

“What is it they’re celebrating?”

“I think...” said Holmes, “Mrs. Hudson said it was a harvest supper.”

“In London?”

There was a sudden cheer and Holmes shrugged. “Seems to have been a very good year for gin at least.”

Down below the piano started up, as Mrs. Hudson began to lead her guests in yet another popular ditty.

Holmes blanched somewhat. “Dear God. How many risqué songs does the woman know?”

“I suppose… we could… always go down and complain..?”

Watson’s voice trailed away.

Amidst the silence, the laughter of twenty-three landladies floated up the stairs, and Holmes and Watson exchanged a look.

“Yes, well,” said Watson. “Perhaps not.”

No Watson, if you wish to see the dawn do not complain about the noise and song subject.

Thank you for making me smile!

Happy to see the ladies enjoying themselves and the tenants showing some good judgment.

We get a knock in the middle of the night,
My lodger says "Do you plan to roust till dawn's light?"
Oh Mr. Holmes, now you're the put-upon one!
And landladies want to have fun -
Landladies want to have fun!
