“I see you made mention of the lighthouse and the trained cormorant,” Holmes commented one morning.

“You said I had your permission to do so,” I replied.

“You did indeed.  But you omitted the ocelot wearing a tutu.”

“I felt the former two were sufficient for the purpose.  And to be fair, the ocelot wasn’t directly involved in the case.”

Now I feel doubly sad for all the glory left out of the canon stories. Someone needs to find that tin box of old notes and unsolved cases...

But of course, they'd completely miss the alligator tapdancing on the ozelot's ballet studio. Eugh.

Indeed. There must be all sorts of cases that Watson never mentioned at all. Thank you for commenting.

Either Holmes and Watson got into Mrs. Hudson's elderberry wine, or that was one heck of a case! ;-)

My lips are sealed ;)

In my humble opinion, if I was Watson, even if the tutu clad ocelot was merely a peripheral bystander, I would have mentioned it...

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Quite. It wouldn't be something you forgot in a hurry ;)

[debriswoman]

It would certainly take more than a lighthouse or a politician to clear it from my mind:-)

Now I *really* want to read that story.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Haha. Don't we all!

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

WOW. Now that is an image for the ages! (And kudos for "the ocelot wasn't directly involved." Ha!)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad it appealed.

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

LOL! If Watson won't publish this story, you ought to! Too funny :-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I defer to Watson's view on these matters.
