Holmes: There's gender afoot here, Watson. I'd bet my life on it.

Watson: Shall I take it that that's why you're wearing a skirt?

H: Let's not get ahead of ourselves, lest we jump to conclusions. There is tenuous evidence I am in fact as you say, wearing a skirt. This garment is known as a kilt by the Scottish.

W: From my understanding kilts are not traditionally made with lace frills. 

H: It's a rather bohemian take on the original design, but I assure you it is a kilt.

W: And the stockings you've donned? Or perhaps the blouse? Are you going to tell me they too are Scottish? 

H: On the contrary, those have both been rather fashionable among our very own British royalty in times past.

W: That very well may be, but honestly Holmes, do you expect me to believe that you've suddenly become interested in historical fashion? I often have to inform you of current events that are not immediately useful to a case! Fashion is wholly irrelevant to our work!

H: If you have a point to this interrogation I would very much like for you to get to it.

W: Could the reason you're wearing those be that you simply enjoy wearing women's clothing?

H: Mayhaps, you are projecting, my dear Watson. 

W: Now, see here, I think you ought to further examine yourself before pointing fingers at others.

H: And what, pray tell, do you think I should be examining?

W: Well… a great many things, I suppose, but based on your previous statement I'd say your gender is the primary concern.

H: It does seem we've come to the same conclusion based on the evidence at hand.

W: Of course, you've already puzzled it out. Was this all just one of your games then?

H: Not at all, I wanted an unbiased opinion on the matter.

W: So you're saying that you truly wish to be a woman? 

H: Well done, Watson! My faith in you is not misplaced. Now, if my ears do not deceive me, Mycroft is coming up the stairs at this very moment. The game begins anew!

W: God save me from this incorrigible woman.
