Although—perhaps it was just as well. Sherlock and Mycroft would have wanted Mum back in Ferndell Hall, but obviously she did not wish to be there. When—not if, but when I found her, I would ask of her nothing that might make her unhappy. I was not seeking her in order to take away her freedom. I just wanted to have a mum. That was all. To be in communication with her. Maybe meet now and then to chat over a cup of tea. To know where she was.
