Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Noble Bachelor"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 12th April, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Noble Bachelor.

Watson's wedding is fast approaching but it's another man's marriage that concerns Holmes this week.

The newly married Lord St. Simon asks for help in finding his bride, who disappeared abruptly during the wedding breakfast. Can Holmes uncover the fate of the former Miss Hatty Doran?

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

Each Sunday we will also have our weekly discussion post, and Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page. Any poems inspired by this week’s story can be left as a comment on her post.

You can choose one activity, or have a go at everything. Or just come along and read the 60s! (And have a chat in the comments ^^) All options are absolutely fine.

Hope to see you on Sunday ^^

Our journey back to London was spent in silence. I looked at Holmes from under half-closed lids and wondered. He had figured out the case long before our awful vigil the night before, yet told me nothing and put us both in more danger than necessary.
The case was solved, but the man opposite me was a far greater mystery.

Holmes’ appreciation of a fellow’s storytelling talents, clearly aimed at me rather than Victor Hatherley himself, did not raise a smile from me. I was too busy imagining the lonely life Mr Hatherley was going back to. Whatever my companion’s idiosyncrasies, the fact remained that were it not for our friendship, I might have found myself in equally desolate circumstances.
