A/N: I find this story deeply weird and not very satisfying for many reasons, but I quite like Mrs Durando.

My heart burned with fury when I looked at him. It was well that I knew how to smile through my grief and rage, for I often to scream at him, to scratch at his face, to slit his throat, to make him pay for what he had done to my Victor.

I did not. I smiled, and I waited.

Mrs. Durango deserves all these things, not the least for having to live under the same roof as this monster. Her patience pays off in the end, thankfully.

A noble lady:-)

Your 60 does make me wonder why there was ever a case for Holmes to get involved in, for surely she would have found a way to kill him long before the events in Wisteria Lodge. Very thought-provoking!

I agree about Mrs Durando, who's a severely underrated heroine - but then, of course, she's forty and not beautiful and thus not of interest to Dr Watson.
