sherlock60Canon: The Musgrave Ritual (MUSG)
Title: Brunton’s Blunder
Author: ennui_enigma
Rating: G
Warnings: none
A/N: I imagine Holmes did not lament the death of Brunton too much; but he must have felt a small pang of regret over the loss of a kindred intellect. As I think about Holmes reflecting on the butler’s mistake with his jilted lover the canon story, A Scandal in Bohemia, comes to mind.
“He had a brilliant intellect with a reasoning aptitude equal to my own logical powers. Never mind that he was a butler. He proved cleverer than generations of noblemen. One’s station in life is no predictor of mental capability.”
Holmes sighed. “It’s a shame his ego caused him to misjudge her true nature. I shall not make the same mistake.”
