Author's Notes: …look up at our old rooms—the starting-point of so many of your little fairy-tales… (NB There are two versions of this sentence—the other has “our little adventures…”)



Watson discovered Holmes disguised as a rose, but the Beast caught him.

Watson woke with a start to find Mary smiling down at him sadly.

“Just a nightmare, John,” she whispered.
