10 year old Mycroft and 3 year old Sherlock are outside the school gates in the morning. Sherlock is clinging to his big brother and sobbing, as though Mycroft is going to war.
Mycroft’s teacher spots them and tries to help. She assures Sherlock that Mycroft would rather spend time with him than go to his classes, but he needs to go to school. Sherlock asks why. The teacher explains that older children must go to school.
Sherlock gives her a very haughty look. "That’s widiculous," he says.
The teacher does her best not to smile - this is clearly something that little Sherlock has picked up from his big brother (who is telling him to apologise).
