Warning: You may get feels on this ride.
Summary: The denouement of this one must have really hurt Dr. Watson.

***

Holmes grasped Dr. Armstrong’s hand. “Come, Watson,” said he.

We left that house in silence.  In that same silence we walked back. After returning Pompey to his master we made for our room at the inn.

And only when we were safe behind locked doors did Holmes take me in his arms as I wept, remembering my own Mary’s death.

Author's Notes: We were fairly accustomed to receive weird telegrams at Baker Street… I went round and saw that all the fellows had gone to roost…


“Holmes…” said Watson, cautiously. “There’s a carrier pigeon. Tapping at the window.”

“Excellent!”

Holmes beamed.

“It’s a communication from Hopkins!”

He brought the bird inside and removed the message.

“Shocking new evidence, Mr. Holmes. True killer is—”

Holmes frowned and turned over the paper. “Oh! Second pigeon to follow.”

Watson sighed. “I do wish you’d learn to embrace the telephone.”

The Missing Three-Quarter: Varsity Matches

The anticipation of this year’s inter-varsity rugby match is high.  The teams are overall evenly matched, for whilst Cambridge has strength in its scrums and line-outs, Oxford has the faster attack and more solid defence.  We look forward to seeing whether the Cambridge rugby players can do better than their rowing team, who have lost for the past six years.
