Ocelot's Note: This entry is only included because the imp of a young mouse was extremely insistent and this was the only way to keep her quiet.

When Inspector Hopkins arrived his lovely dark hair was wet where the rain had blown under his hat and his beautiful grey eyes were full of concern about his case.  Now Mr Holmes has assured him that he will go to Yoxley with him tomorrow his sweet face is peaceful as he sleeps on the sofa.  He is my hero.

Oh, lovely! I like that you've given him grey eyes. And I love that he's peaceful now that Holmes has agreed to help him. Yay, Hopkins! :)

Thank you. You do realise that once again this is all your fault ;) Although I have to admit that the opportunity to describe Hopkins was one I didn't want to miss.

How sweet! Interspecies relationships are such an interesting field of study. ;)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am not sure that the feeling will be reciprocated ;)

Poor Stanley Hopkins - he does look so distressed at the beginning of this episode. You really nailed him with this 60.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, especially after he'd tried so hard to use Holmes methods. Thank you.

Oh, a smitten kitten:-)

I wish her well.

( I checked the term on google...pup or pinkie would work for baby mouse, too)

I have a feeling this is going to be unrequited. Although hopefully Hopkins won't be so unmanly as to squeal if he sees her.

I didn't think that mouselet was the right term, but thought at least it would clear who had fallen for him. And she is a very pretty little mouse.

[debriswoman]

Perhaps so, and I was quite happy with mouselet, except it didn't rhyme with smitten:-p

I hope Hopkins doesn't squeal either, maybe she could live in his pocket?

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, and maybe being a Victorian mouselet she could have the vapours every so often and he'd have to revive her ;)

[debriswoman]

Yep, a faint squeak and a furry hand to her forehead and he would be hers:-)

And he'd be tempting her to eat with specially chosen morsels of cheese.

[debriswoman]

Seems to be bringing out a latent mothering instinct...

A young, smitten mouse. That's a star-crossed love if there ever was one. :)

Her Papa admires Holmes, she will sit and watch Hopkins for hours.
