3STU -- The Adventure of the Three Students

“Your friend isn’t an easy man, is he?”

Soames’ words sparked a flurry of memories.

He shrugged his shoulders in ungracious acquiescence.

“Not one of your cases, Watson — mental, not physical. All right; come if you want to.”

“This is of interest, Watson.”

“Watson, I have always done you an injustice. There are others.”

"Well, Watson, what do you think of it?"

“So he did me. That's the puzzling part.”

"Yes, my dear Watson; I have solved the mystery."

Holmes’ muscles twitching in the throes of withdrawal as he laid an apologetic hand on my shoulder. His barely-audible confession, as I tucked his fevered body into bed: ‘I am glad you came with me, Watson.’

“No, he’s not,” I agreed. “Great men seldom are.”

Oh Watson. I'm pretty sure the heat must have softened my brain a little, it feels truly moved. ;)

Aw, thanks! And I hope you get cooler weather soon.

Yes, this.

Thank you! 3STU just feels like one of those cases where Holmes is trying to kick his addiction, at least to me.

Ah, so nice. Your little scene with them, and Holmes' weakened confession... very touching. I loved it.

[methylviolet10b]

Thank you! I'm glad it tickled your fancy. This definitely went a little off the beaten path.

Poor Watson, the things he has to put up with.

[methylviolet10b]

He really does put up with a lot. Thanks!
