The Adventure of the Three Gables

Title: Sense of Smell

Author: [livejournal.com profile] tweedisgood

Rating: PG

Warning: Victorian homophobia, in response to Holmes being a racist arse. Or maybe, just maybe Steve Dixie liked garlic.



Sure was a bad thing about Perkins. Him knowin' about it, leastways. Or else, for those two jibes about how I smell, I'd 'a dealt him a blow about what he smells of. Spunk and shame, Masser Holmes, spunk and shame. Tell that to your doctor friend; then see if an' he'd raise a poker for you or against you.

*applauds* I actually like this guy. Might be personal experience, or not, I like him.

Glad you didn't let Holmes get past this one! Course, to his credit, he was rather rude and arrogant to most anyone who threatened him.
Well written! Great work :)

“Holmes, the Scotland Yard Jack-in-office!”

Holmes chuckled heartily. “Your conversation is most entertaining,” said he. “When you go out close the door, for there is a decided draught." (SPEC)

The smell thing... Oh, that was very bad. Such a long-standing and just absurdly stupid racist thought, and it hurt me to see it come from Holmes. I'm glad you took him down a notch here.

Oh, ouch. Nice job tackling the racism in this story, and Victorian homophobia, too. You have a great touch with this material.
