Warning: Hints at a Holmes/Hopkins relationship.
Summary: Not everyone at 221b is on board the Holmes/Hopkins train.

***

Hot water, lemon, a generous splash of brandy. That would banish November cold and wet.

From the corner of my eye I saw the cupped, caressing hands as Holmes lit Hopkins’ cigar.

I quickly reached into my nearby open doctor’s bag whilst both were distracted.

...And a dose of saltpetre.

This would be strictly a business call for young Hopkins.

“What say you to a bookcase masking a hiding-place?”

Holmes unrolled the palimpsest. “I have ever sought to reveal that which is obscure, and I shouldn’t wish to violate that aim, even with respect to furnishing.”

“Might be useful.”

“Why? Have you a Nihilist bride to conceal?”

“The Asian continent is vast,” I mused and sank back into my treatise.

Author's Notes: ...it is nothing more exciting than an Abbey’s accounts dating from the second half of the fifteenth century. A 15th century genderswap AU. (What?)


“Sister Sherlock. Sister Johanna.” Abbess Hudson hesitated. “It’s about your… adventures.”

Sister Johanna frowned. “I had to wallop that thief, Abbess! He pulled a knife!”

“Yes. I—”

“And someone had to investigate those murders!” protested Sister Sherlock.

“Yes! You’re doing God’s work! It’s just…” The Abbess sighed. “Perhaps don’t be so... thorough during confession. Poor Father Lestrade looks positively ashen.”

The weather this month has been much worse than is usual for autumn.  The rains have been particularly fierce and the winds have howled worse than ever.  The skies are so dark one can barely tell day from night.  No man can venture out without overcoat, cravat and galoshes.  Inspector Hopkins should not have to go abroad in such tempests.


O/N: Who let her in?  It's bad enough Mouselet's now got her own monthly column!
