The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge

Title: 'Ritual'

Author: tweedisgood

Rating: G


Before attempting anything of importance, potent herbs are smoked; sacred music may be played; holy texts consulted. Symbolic but willing sacrifice of self and companion to danger and death is pledged.

Magic and the 'scientific' art of detection, the pursuit of true justice beyond the eye of man, are not so far apart as you might think, Sherlock Holmes.

Indeed! Truth be told, a few hundred years earlier they'd burnt him for his art. If they had been able to catch Mr "I survived Reichenbach", anyway.

Quite :-)

Nicely put. I am very impressed at such an apt link:-)

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly :-)

art and science are not so distinct from each other as some would suppose. excellent insight! in the same way, the art and science of medicine are both practiced by a good physician. I suspect Watson has a handle on both of these areas!

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

And Magic. Don't forget magic, because together that's what Holmes and Watson make :-)

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, magic too! Watson might utilize his "magic" in the form of a medical placebo effect. But, personally, I agree with you that the magic b/t Holmes and Watson is the best!

YES. The line between voodoo and Holmes' own magic is very thin indeed. Terrific observation.

Although there is something to be said for use of a magnifying glass over the use of a headless chicken... ;)

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and agreed. Only good use for a headless chicken is a roast dinner.

Did you get my invite and mod request for acd_holmesfest by the way? I thought maybe I could post about it next Sunday on sherlock60 and other places and start to gather interest.

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

I did, and I accepted, thank you. Please feel free to post whenever you like! Should be great fun.

Ah, brill. For the last three or four days I haven't been getting LJ notifications via email but it seems to be working again now.
