There was no case, Sherlock. You broke a lamp. On purpose. Out of boredom. And yes, it was ugly, but it was also a gift from my sister.

Sherlock said...

You don't even like your sister. And neither of us liked that lamp.

John said...

Harry and I have been getting on fine, thanks. And the lamp wasn't yours to break.

Sherlock said...

Well, if you'd put it somewhere I didn't have to look at it . . . I'll call Harry and explain what happened, if that will help.

John said...

You leave Harry out of it.
