Canon Story: The Resident Patient

Title: Cold

Author: Chess Ka

Rating: G

A/N: Doctor Trevelyan's point-of-view on his circumstances when he was in "want of capital", and trying to save up for a practice in Brook Street.

___

I struck a match, cupping my hand around it as I lit my last candle. My table - an overturned wooden box – wobbled as I wrote my patients' notes. I was forced to wrap myself in one blanket. My breath misted in the air before me, and my fingers ached with cold.

My circumstances could not change soon enough.

Which truly explains why he would take Blessington's offer without knowing much of anything about the man! I like this view here, I like it a lot!

Not many of those who've never been in that situation can imagine what it's like, I guess. Your stories shows quite impressively what it means to be that much in need.

Pity both doctor and patient under these circumstances! No wonder he lacked work at first!

Pretty vulnerable to any offers in these circumstances.
Vividly written:-)

So when Blessington made his offer, the doctor knew better than to look a gift horse in the mouth. And who can blame him?

As I imagine ACD did, being at least partly the inspiration for this story - well spotted.

Nice. Thanks!
