***

In that tragic time after I lost the two great loves of my life, Holmes and Mary, an incident occurred that might have spared me more pain on one front, had I known of it at the time.  One morning my maid mentioned scrubbing childish marks from the steps.  Only years later did I learn from his lips their significance.

Took me a while to decode it, but then I melted. Some persistence would have helped Watson see the message, though!

Oh, good! Damn, Doyle didn't give us J or W, so couldn't write John or Watson.

Well, Holmes only had a limited amount of time. :)

Hee, make us work for it, eh? :D Nicely done!

That was my intent! Glad you liked!

So sweet. Even if it did take me a while to solve.

Thank you!

Heh, very clever idea and kudos for getting the drawings into your story.

Thank you! I do think Dancing Men came after the hiatus, but, well, it's an AU. :)

Oh, you used the code! Fabulous -- I'm delighted someone did!

Glad you liked that I did. Pity Doyle didn't give us W and J. :)
