SIXN.
Lestrade had fallen asleep on our couch. We stopped talking for some time, retiring in a comfortable silence, me with a cigarette in one hand and the notes of the day in the other, Lestrade lying on the sofa with the blanket, legs, had gradually climbed up to rimboccarglisi the body below the neck. Holmes was upstairs, to see old newspaper. Every so often a dry leaf of paper and a grunt of disappointment broke the silence.
I would not have noticed that Lestrade Holmes had not slept at all if I had not met with kindness from mine. Without speaking, Holmes pointed to the inspector with a nod of the chin and handed me a cup of hot tea, no doubt, Mrs. Hudson had prepared us before going to bed.
Silent, Holmes sat down on arm of my chair and we sat for a moment to contemplate Lestrade snoring floor with one arm stretched over the edge of the sofa. Then Holmes bent down to steal a sip of my tea cup. I smiled and bit my tongue not to reproach him with this little rudeness aloud. The movement that followed was one unit: Holmes put the cup on the saucer, turned his head on my side and kissed my mouth with his lips still wet from the drink and impossibly hot, then straightening his back and his feet in a single, smooth diagonal.
glanced anxiously at Lestrade, but the unit continued to sleep the sleep of the just.
"Holmes!" I whispered, but to no avail, because our car had stopped just under the window and Holmes ran to retrieve his scarf. "Standing, Lestrade! It's time! "He exclaimed, throwing his hat in the belly of the poor Inspector Lestrade upon waking.
