Canon Story: A Study in Scarlet
Title: Oversights
Rating: G



Never before had an ill conceived attempt to test a fellow-lodger’s limits backfired so spectacularly! I was immortalised in The Strand with not only my own numerous eccentricities, but a number of moronic oversights that I would never allow myself to make.

When a client mentioned it to Watson some years later, I saw the damnable man stifle a laugh.

It's a game of two halves, isn't it? ;P

I'm sure Watson would find it funny, especially if he caught Holmes' expression at the time!

Made me smile! Great moment captured in so few words.

Lol, so cute, so plausible. Holmes just a little bit worried about how he's portrayed never wanting to be the idiot even about things he might not quite know.

Poor Holmes, forever immortalized in a list of his deficiencies! ;-)

Watson's write-ups are a double-edged sword of extreme flattery and insult. The best part is that Watson finds it all rather amusing. :)
