Canon Story: The Noble Bachelor
Title: The Swan on the Serpentine (part of The Ocelot Tales)
Author: thesmallhobbit
Rating: G

The little man seemed frantic, obsessed; he had found a wedding dress floating on our lake.  He is sure the wearer must be under the water.

The tall man looks at the surface and knows that the bride is elsewhere.  I can tell by his stance that he does not just see, but he understands.

He glides but paddles underneath.

Very nice indeed:-)

The comparison 'twixt swan and Holmes is inspired!

The last sentence really makes it burst. Deep waters there!

The swan on the serpentine! I like it. And a lovely contrast the swan notices between Lestrade and Holmes.

Great writing and use of the swan to convey something deeper than the superficial.

An inspired installment. What the swan not just saw, but knew.

Beautiful imagery. Loved Holmes as the swan: his efforts inside looking effortless from the outside. Wonderful!!

I'm surprised the swan knows what a wedding dress is. These are some smart animals you have! ;)
