This week we’re having a look at The Creeping Man. As always, I’ve typed up a few thoughts to get the ball rolling.

The Creeping Man: Less Excusable Habits

Canon Story: The Creeping Man
Title: Less Excusable Habits
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: He was a man of habits… As an institution I was like the violin, the shag tobacco, the old black pipe, the index books, and others perhaps less excusable.

“Always look at the hands first, Watson. Then cuffs, trouser-knees, and boots.”



“Blisters on your hands from holding handkerchiefs too tightly. Perspiration on your cuffs. Wrinkled trousers because you strapped tiny bells round the knees. And there are grass stains on your boots from a village green.”

I stared at Holmes in disappointment.

“You’ve been doing folk dancing again, haven’t you?”

Holmes bowed his head in shame. “It helps me to think!”

Author's Notes: “Why does Professor Presbury’s wolfhound, Roy, endeavour to bite him?”



Roy:
Down, boy!
You’re safe and sound.
It’s just your master, monkeying around.

Holmes,

I understand that you wished to demonstrate to Hopkins the manner in which you solved the case.  I can see how it might require you to enact the part of the monkey, but in future, if you wish to have Hopkins join you in your re-enactment, please wait until Lestrade and I have passed through the sitting room.

Herr Lowenstein
Had a serum for gentlemen who pine
It was important to take it with great care
As no-one could be sure how the user might fare.
