Warning: Crack-a-doodle-doo.
Summary: Hell is other people.
Dramatis Personae: Lady Sneerwell is the reputation-ruining antagonist in the Sheridan play A School for Scandal. William Randolph Hearst was a newspaper tycoon whose yellow journalism built or broke political careers and ginned up the Spanish-American War. Hedda Hopper was a Hollywood gossip-monger in the Golden Age of the silver screen.

***

“For vulgar money and not the sport itself,” Lady Sneerwell …er, sneered.

 “Amateur,” sniffed Hearst. “I destroyed countries.”

 “Was it worth it, Chuckie?” Hedda Hopper grinned.

Milverton looked at the people who sat with him in the sweltering tiny doorless room. One chair was unoccupied. He peered through his spectacles at the name on the back.

“Who is ‘Rupert Murdoch’?”

Upon return to my lodgings, I found Holmes in careful study of what appeared to be the disassembled pieces of a safe door.

“No better way to understand a foe so as to vanquish it,” he said. “One of two necessary skills I aim to practise this evening.”

“What is the other?”

“Traversing the dark with your hand in mine.”

“Wire this modest sum to the account specified, and the world need never know of this.”

“I’ll take my chances.” She rose and walked toward the door. “Maybe in a few years I’ll look back and say this was the making of me.”

“A very unwise decision, Miss…”

She turned back and said with a smile, “Kardashian with a ‘K.’”

Author's Notes: ...he is as cunning as the Evil One…



After Milverton’s death, the serpent took up residence with her.

Every day it whispered its blackmail. “If you go out, I’ll give you away. Everyone will know what you’ve done.”

So she stayed alone and isolated, ignoring her friends’ pleas.

But she had rid the world of a poisonous creature. This time she was prepared to pay the serpent’s price.
