Mrs Hudson is happy to pop this cherry... and I sincerely apologize for that mental imagery

Pulling back on her long rubber gloves, Mrs. Hudson left the slow-cooker to do it's job, satisfied that the thickening chili within would be ready well in time for a nice early dinner. She'd been making her way between it and 221c since the late morning, but hardly out of any real sense of fire safety.

No, she was simply taking every opportunity to pass by the slim package resting on the hall sidetable. It was so unusual for either of the boys to receive a package, she couldn't help the leery sense of curiosity. After all, Sherlock seemed to lift everything he needed from the St Bart's lab (she'd seen the labels in her occasional attempts at organizing the boy's kitchen) and John... well. It sometimes seemed he knew less of the computer than she did.

Mrs. Hudson took a long moment to give the package one last steely look (don't you dare explode, I only just hoovered, her glare seemed to say) before ducking back into the dim dankness of 221c to continue her attempts at sprucing.

Oh, how did she manage to let it fall into such a state?

[Mrs. Hudson isn't the only one concerned about that package. Irene wasn't there when it was delivered — she has better things to do than lurk outside 221b all day — but she does keep the building under surveillance and, as part of a routine update, received several cameraphone snapshots of the postman making his delivery.

And that is why, at this very moment, she is climbing through an upstairs window.]
