Ocelot's Note: Breaking News

“’E’s back.”

“Who is?”

“Mr ‘Olmes.”

“Nah, ‘e’s dead.  Died three years ago.”

“Inspector Lestrade says ‘e’s back.”

“It’s true.  Met a cab horse, said ‘e took ‘im and the doctor to Cavendish Square.”

Another horse comes in.

“I’ve seen Mr ‘Olmes.  Everyone's really happy that e’s back, except for a geezer called Colonel Moran who seemed furious about it.”

Ah yes, the equine grapevine. Can't make a move without it being all over London!

Nice work, btw:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Straight from the horse's mouth ;)

Thank you.

I will rein in the temptation to start another round of horse-related puns...

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Because we wouldn't want to saddle the rest of the readers with our dodgy word play.

[debriswoman]

Yeah, trotting out a few more atrocious puns would be a bit unfair.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Although in the mane we haven't been too bad.

[debriswoman]

Yes, we have dealt with this as care-filly as we can:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

And bridled our tendancy to go OTT ;)

[debriswoman]

And haven't annoyed the neigh bours.

At all:-)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Because we don't want them telling tails on us ;-)

[debriswoman]

That would be my over riding concern, too:-)

The news comes out through horse gossip. Horse gossip with a thick Cockney accent, too! Awesome.

"We're all good working 'orses 'ere. None of that fancy thoroughbred stuff."

And thank you.
