Canon Story: The Musgrave Ritual
Title: A Heart of Stone
Author: Mary Sutherland
Rating: PG13



I learnt a valuable lesson at Hurlstone. Brunton possessed a first rate intelligence, but his death came at the hands of an excitable Welsh woman of no particular genius. Love is not one of the softer passions – as my boy Watson believes – but as hard and heavy as the flagstone beneath which Rachel Howells abandoned her former beau.

Oh, very clever indeed! I like it a lot -- and I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the inclusion of 'my boy' seems to really set it in the Musgrave retelling, because Holmes refers to Watson as such (at least) twice!

Ouch. Painful, but just as painfully true.

Ooh, nice! I really love how you've played with the idea of love as a soft emotion against the imagery of the hard, heavy stone.
