It shouldn't surprise anyone who's acquainted with Sherlock that even as a child he was proactive with his curiosities. Combine that with a large house and even larger garden, you've got plenty of opportunities for 'boo-boos' as Mummy used to call it.

Not the OP, but I'm loving this! I have a very soft spot in my heart for brothers!Holmes stories - and yours is beautiful. (...) there's little weight and meaning behind it all unless Mycroft does it (...) As I said, beautiful. Thanks for writing.
Mycroft is moved as well and calls you a "messenger angel" (well ,actually "angle", but that was obviously a typo).
'Yeah, well in that case you'd better not bloody die. There's no CCTV in the afterlife'
