If that was Sherlock Holmes, then I’m a pit pony.  I’ve met a good few miscreants in my time and that man is up the top with the best of them.  I know Mr Holmes likes to dress up sometimes, but then he never gives his name.  Stupid driver, making that mistake; my previous driver, Mr Hope he knew better.

A perceptive horse, and no mistake!
:-)

Oh yes, that horse was a quick learner.

[debriswoman]

Being in posession of horse sense, of course:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

And being aware when someone is telling a tail ;)

[debriswoman]

I think you have covered the mane points:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, hoof-fully I think I have.

[debriswoman]

No other plot twist left to unfoaled then?

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

I shall carefilly consider it.

[debriswoman]

Just as long as you rein in the more extreme plot lines:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

I shall endeavour to bridle my enthusiasm.

[debriswoman]

Simply a matter of taking the bit between your teeth...

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

... and not saddling myself with anything too far fetched.

[debriswoman]

Who knows? This may spur you on to better things:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

So long as I can avoid being blinkered :)

[debriswoman]

Otherwise you may miss subtle moves and canter moves...

Wow, this chain of comments is pretty amazingly pun-tastic! I love it.

It's Hope's horse! Well, it's a small world, and he's a bright equine. If he could just learn to talk, he'd be in real business. Paging Mr. Ed!

[debriswoman]

We try:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

We do indeed. One could say we were extremely trying.

And I congratulate you on finally silencing me ;)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

I think it possible that Holmes might be a tad upset if he was upstaged by a talking horse.

[debriswoman]

What?

For ever?

Surely not?

There must be some pun reserves you can harness...

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

I think I may have weaselled out of it.
