BRUC – Just Rewards
“If time hangs heavy get foolscap and a pen, and begin your narrative of how we saved the State.”

It was only when town gave way to country outside our carriage windows that my Watson suspected our destination. “Holmes!”

“Be easy, Watson. A certain dear lady merely wishes to hear the true story from the scribe’s own lips. And I know you would never disoblige a woman.”

We came away with trinkets – and secretly-bestowed honours: Sir Sherlock and Sir John.


Extended-play version (100 words):
“If time hangs heavy get foolscap and a pen, and begin your narrative of how we saved the State.”

My Watson brought his manuscript account of the case (not the pablum destined for the public) without questioning.

It was only when town gave way to country outside our carriage windows that he suspected the truth. “Holmes!”

“Be easy, Watson. A certain dear lady merely wishes to hear the true story from the scribe’s own lips. And I know you would never disoblige a woman.”

I came away with a tie-pin; Watson with a watch-fob – and we both received the accolade, although in secret. Just as well; ‘Sir Sherlock’ is not a form of address I ever wish to hear.
