If you call them 'challenges' if feels like you've chose to be brave instead of foolhardy. :) That's what I do in these circumstances, anyway.
I'll happily be a character witness for you. LEt's see if we can't come up with a justification for getting one or both of them to have to frisk us at the end of the chase, yes? Or Lestrade, because he's a lovely Silver Fox and I shan't resist.
Your characterisation is fabulous. I was just re-reading the chapter, and was reminded again how much I love Not Anthea's take on the role of the shield, and that whole exchange. And there was an earlier piece about the viola shielding th violin while the parents had their screaming fit, and I just melted with love and compassion for little Mycroft and littler Sherlock in that situation.
