The lady was lovely alright.  I could have stood and looked at her all day.  You could tell that my driver thought the same.  And she wasn’t just lovely to look at, she was kind too.  Even the scruffy geezer, the one she gave a sovereign to, found it as hard to take his eyes off her as we did.

This works well, even a horse can see what Holmes does his best to deny:-)

I look forward to seeing what species comes up next.

Thank you. I get the feeling that everyone was entranced by her, and Holmes isn't immune to beauty, although whether in a romantic sense or just in a similar way to appreciating music.

As I've said before you're not the only one who looks forward to finding out who is going to contribute next ;)

Right out of the horse's mouth, I take it. ;P Lovely! And yeah, one's gotta love Irene Adler(-Norton).

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

In the Granada version there's a shot of the horse looking round the hedge and I like to think it's looking out for Irene.

How lovely! =D

Aww, even the horse is in love with Mrs. Norton. And nice allusion to Holmes too. Good one!

Yes, every creature is in love with Miss Adler, because she had more than just beauty but character too. Even Holmes was caught under her spell.

Hee! I really love these alternate views of the stories. And I really love the horse describing Holmes as a "scruffy geezer"!

Thank you. This horse expects to have a respectably dressed driver, and looks down his nose at anything less.

Excellent! Horses, kings, lawyers, and detectives - all attracted to Ms Adler! She has quite a magnetic personality!

Thank you. She earned the name of "The Woman" from more than just Holmes.
