“How do you like my new abode, sister dear?”
Mercy positively purred while she walked Jane down the corridor to the drawing room.
“That’s a nice winter garden. I like the colourful glass pieces you decorated the flowerpots with.”
Mercy smiled humbly.
“Thank you. The idea came to me one winter morning, strolling down the banks of good old Thames.”

You continue to be very subtle with the links to canon in your tales. I really like this:-)

I like colourful decorations outside my home! *lol*

Your user pic has the air of a stained glass piece:-)

O.o It's a shabby old self-portrait. *lol*

Of course it is :p

Nicely played indeed. I second the sentiment of your user pic looking like a pane of stained glass.

I guess that's because of the marker pens I used... and a misbehaving scanner. ^^"

NICE! Mercy is a clever one. I wonder just how she did it? I'm hoping for standard diving dress (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_diving_dress). Victorian scuba diving with the Moriartys. Now that would be something to see!

If she has a diving dress, it certainly comes with the latest fashion in bustles.

Though I think that for this business, she hired her personal guard of hand-trained elite fighter lobsters, one of her foreign achievements. Their code of honour forbids them to die of Thames poisoning.
