Sherlock Holmes, in the middle of the nowhere, with the equation stick. Poor Lestrade! If he hadn't had his nap, he'd have probably been ready to do in Sherlock.
That Sherlock would think to look for the bag Mrs. Hudson gave him and offer Lestrade its contents shows improvements from when he first met him, though. Yes, John deserves a medal!
I like how you present Sherlock as not so much trying to be mysterious about his past as just completely uninterested in talking about himself (except how brilliant he is), because he already knows himself and isn't going to get anything new from repeating his past to somebody else! It's all about Sherlock, as Lestrade knows.
