Author's Notes: It may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy. Run fast, run far, Hopkins…



“So you enjoyed the play?”

“Watson, it was glorious!” laughed Holmes. “The comic misunderstandings! The melodramatic ending! I simply cannot comprehend why no-one else was amused.”

Still chortling, Holmes went to ring for supper.

“You appear puzzled, Doctor,” sighed Hopkins.

“No, it’s just…” Watson hesitated. “I thought you were going to see ‘Romeo and Juliet’.”

Hopkins groaned quietly. “We did.”

Author's Notes: “…old Dr. Lysander Starr, who was mayor in 1890." “I never knew a Dr. Lysander Starr, of Topeka.”


Lysander Starr
Is wunderbar.
A dream of a mayor.
(‘Cos he was never really there.)

I must admit to being delighted that Mr Holmes tracked down Killer Evans and foiled his plan; although I was less than happy when I heard what had happened to Dr Watson.  I have again pleaded with the doctor to be more careful, even though he assured me that it was only a scratch and told me not to fuss.

But his scheme came to naught, as he was thinking like a Yank

“It was your own fault.” I smack the cold compress to Watson’s cheek.

He had left Dracula open on my desk. Unsurprisingly, it was ineffable twaddle. Yet, somehow gripping.

Therefore, when Watson soundlessly and quite suddenly touched my shoulder I acted on instinct.

He laughs again, wincing slightly from the bruise I caused: “Self-defence? Holmes, you shrieked like a girl.”

The Sussex Vampire is set in 1896 (according to William Stuart Baring-Gould) or 1901 (according to Ernest Bloomfield Zeisler). Dracula was first published in 1897.

One might assume Holmes’ long acquaintance with the criminal world would inure him to the sight of injuries.

Apparently, not if they're mine.

“You're bleeding!”

“Holmes, it’s a mere scratch.”

My foolish hope that he would calm down was destroyed by the Yarders’ arrival. Lestrade rushed in, face pale. “Doctor!”

Both of them fussing over me - a nightmare come true.
