Author's Notes: Sorry this is a little late.

It was kind of him to feign reticence at leaving, though nothing could hide the light in his eyes sparked by Holmes’ summons. I shan’t deny him the adventure he loves so dearly, nor can I find it in me to begrudge the time spent with the man he loves just as well. There is kindness in Mrs. Watson, too.

:-) How lovely! And hurrah for kind Mary! I really like how you've brought her forward here.

Thank you! Poor Mary. I tend to dislike her solely because she fogs up my slash goggles. I guess I thought I should quit casting her in a poor light for once. Probably just this once though. ;D

I tend to dislike her solely because she fogs up my slash goggles.

Fogged-up goggles are definitely a trial, true. ;-) But in all seriousness, I think it is possible to be sympathetic to Mary and still slash H/W - and you did it very well here.

Oooh, Mary's perspective! I love how our group always has such different takes on everything. And I just adore your Mary. the man he loves just as well. -- She knows, and is okay with it, wanting only happiness for her husband. Beautiful.

Oh, and don't worry about when you post! Anytime in the week is fine. :)

Thank you so much! My favorite part of doing things like this is seeing all the different ways people can interpret the same thing. These 60s are all so different, but I read all of them and think, "Oh, exactly!" It's great. :D

That is exactly my feeling about it too. I love seeing what angles each author takes, especially as the weeks go on. We all have our little niches. It's also fun to see when a number of people have the same idea, but go about it in their own unique ways.

Ahh. Well done, Mary. And well done you.
