Yes. They meet in the short story 'His Last Bow' which takes place over a decade after Holmes' official retirement. There is no indication of any further meetings though I would like to think they at least had an occasional chat.

Why did David Burke leave the Sherlock Holmes series?
Burke left Granada's series of Sherlock Holmes stories between The Final Problem and The Empty House because he felt the show was causing him to spend too much time away from his family. He was replaced with Edward Hardwicke, who carried out the character of Watson until the very end, even portraying him again with Jeremy Brett (Holmes) onstage.
How does Holmes speak to Watson?
Sherlock Holmes speaks to Watson as if he was Sherlock's student. But then again Watson really is his student--he follows him around on his cases and learns from him by watching him use his deductive reasoning and observation skills. Hardly ever will you find a scenario where Sherlock speaks kindly or with feeling towards Watson. Watson even described him once as an "unfeeling robot set to solve crimes and shun the monotony of life." But of few of the quotes in which a little of Sherlock's inner self shines through include the following: -"Come, friend Watson, the curtain rings up for the last act." -"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper `Norbury` in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you." -"[Watson and I] also have our diplomatic secrets." -"This is my dear friend and associate, Doctor Watson--the sole of discretion, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself." -"If you had killed Watson, you would not have made it out of this room alive."

What did Holmes mean when he said I never get your limits Watson There are unexplored possibilities about you in the Sussex Vampire?
Holmes was insulting him because Watson did not know that his old friend was asking for help on his own behalf instead of for a friend as he said in the letter. It was a kind of "is there no limit to your stupidity?" statement. Holmes had just learned that Watson played rugby for Blackheath, which is a rugged sport. Of course, he could be referring to the fact that Watson's blunder about whose case it was had yet again helped him to hit upon the truth. ___"Of course I remember him," said I, as I laid down the letter. "Big Bob Ferguson, the finest three-quarter Richmond ever had. He was always a good-natured chap. It's like him to be so concerned over a friend's case." ___Holmes looked at me thoughtfully and shook his head. ___"I never get your limits, Watson," said he. "There are unexplored possibilities about you. Take a wire down, like a good fellow. 'Will examine your case with pleasure.'

After Watson and Holmes meet in 'The Adventure of the Empty House,' Watson writes the following: "In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words." We are left to assume that he is referring to his late wife who is indeed never mentioned again.

The narrator reveals that?
Their job is to narrate the story. It helps the reader understand what is happening in the story. Not all stories will have a narrator. The narrator can even be an animal, they don't always have to have a person.

Lortab 349 Watson what mg is 349?
If you look at the pill again, it probably says Lortab Watson 349. The Watson 349 is nothing but a manufacturers code. The medication should be similar to a standard 5/500 vicodin.
Did Sherlock Holmes ever have a girlfriend?
He was engaged to Charles Augustus Milverton's housemaid. At the end of 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches,' Watson writes "As to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend Holmes, rather to my disappointment, manifested no further interest in her when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems." Holmes does not show any sign that he had a girlfriend before he met Watson. Most of the time he has a suspicious air towards women based on the fact that he states more then once that you can't trust them. Some of the film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes show that he does, like Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) and the latest Sherlock Holmes film staring Robert Downey Jr. (2009) In the 2009 film, a character called Irene Adler is added to the story to be the romantic interest for Holmes. This character was taken from one of Conan Doyle's short stories called A Scandal in Bohemia. In that story Holmes ventures in a disguise to Irene's home in search of an important photograph. The story is interesting and Irene's character is memorable because of the fact that she ends up being the only woman ever to outwit Holmes. As it turns out Holmes is impressed by the lady and keeps a photograph of her in memory of the case. Although a lot of people over the years exaggerate upon Irene Adler and Holmes, in the original story there is nothing to suspect a romantic relationship ever happening. In the story Irene marryies a man and leaves England. This character was never fully brought up again in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Save only by name.
