Red Headed League: 'A' is for Aviary

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Canon: The Red Headed League (REDH)
Title: 'A' Is For Aviary
Author: ennui_enigma
POV: Jabez Wilson
A/N: Prompted by Watson’s remark in Black Peter, “Wilson, the notorious canary-trainer”

Being a pawnbroker, I was not naturally given to scholarly pursuits. But under ‘A’, I learned about Aviaries. My newly acquired data instigated a side-business to supplement my meager pawnbroker’s income. They call me ‘the notorious canary trainer’ now. Well, I can only blame my new business on that brief but influential encounter with the Red-headed League and the Britannica.

Thank you. Glad you liked :-)

That is a brilliant take on this week's story.

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you! Just some random thoughts as I remembered that this canon was not the only one that mentions a Wilson.

Wow, something good came out of that! :D One shouldn't underestimate the inspirational power of reading.

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Precisely! Almost makes you want to pull out the ol' Britannica, huh? LOL! Jabez should have started reading long b/f he was paid to do it though :-)

A truly brilliant link between two canon moments:-)

Well done, Ma'am!

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Could one say, "thank you, Ma'am!" , as well?

Curious.

[debriswoman]

One could if one was being very polite, and historical. The male equivalent -"thank you, sir" somehow sounds less archaic:-)

I really don't speak like this...

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

So you say...

(course, I will concede that you don't write like such...so there is hope yet!)

You're a talented writer and poet - I wouldn't put it past you to add to that list of talents "linguist" too !
