You would think with the owner of the house dead a beetle could sit quietly on the carpet.  No, first the lady pulls it around and looks underneath.  She seemed triumphant before she ran off.  Now the man’s disturbed me.  He was angry: it would appear he didn’t find what he was looking for.  Does he know she has it?

Poor Mr/Mrs Beetle! On the other hand, I wonder what it was doing on that particular carpet... (@.@;)

As Eccles once said to Neddie Seagoon "Everybody's got to be somewhere".

A beetle in the secret cache - perfect!

Thank you.

Inventive, very impressive!

Aw, thank you.

I love the idea of the beetle, at first irritated then speculating on the knowledge and motives of the people observed. I hope he/she gets the chance to satisfy his/her curiosity.

The title has a nice ring to it, too:-)

I think the beetle will watch Holmes leave and decide that he does know, because his steps will be very purposeful.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the title.

Did seem to be a curious and perceptive beetle. I think he/she will go far:-)

Only the best creatures are permitted to contribute to The Ocelot Tales ;)

I never doubted that for a second:-)

Does he know she has it?

Not yet, but he will as soon as he steps outside.

Nice work again! These animal 60s have been so fun.
