Rating: G (also it's 100 words, I couldn't manage 60)
Author's Notes: This was also inspired by the questionsscfrankles raised about Hope's accomplice, who dressed as an old woman to steal back the ring from Holmes. "Who was your accomplice who came for the ring which I advertised?" Let's find out...
I was reading Vattel when I heard my mad classmate scamper through our back window. His skirts made their distinctive whoosh, rather like curtains.
And my poor parents thought law school respectable.
“Look, mate,” I tried again, “if anyone catches you out in that bonnet, you’re done for. Forget the degree, there’s not a decent woman in Western civilization who’d have you.”
“I have had a glorious night,” he laughed.
“Doing what?”
“Filching treasures from sharp-eyed detectives, in drag.”
“Not a woman in the world, forever after! You mark my words.”
But that’s Godfrey Norton. There’s no talking to him.
