(Once again, sorry for the hiatus without sending any word. Picking up bad habits from S. Holmes, I’m afraid.)
The prompt for this month is:
Crest
A tuft of feathers or fur. The top of a coat of arms. The top of a hill or mountain. Perhaps Holmes is on the crest of a wave because of a successful case. And then he is greeted by Mrs. Hudson and a bill on his return to Baker Street and becomes very much crestfallen.
