The Red Headed League
Sherlock Holmes and I surveyed this curt announcement and the rueful face behind it, until the comical side of the affair so completely overtopped every other consideration that we both burst out into a roar of laughter.
My very favorite scene in this episode. Watson trying to make a straight face is so very adorable. Seeing Holmes laugh is every time again so wonderful.

It’s even worse than I’d heard so far. Oh god, Benny.

In WWII the phrase “Vatican Cameos” was used when a person who was not in the British army came before the general, or other high up ranks, as a signal to the other officers that the person was armed.
So when Sherlock says “Vatican Cameos” to warn John that the safe has a gun in it, it’s not something that they’ve set up as a code word- It’s a code Sherlock knew John would know- being a soldier!
Holy…..
