A/N: The Granada adaptation of this story contains one of my favorite bits of 'business' from Jeremy Brett, so I decided to go with it instead of using one of the prompts. Also, I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I won't be around to post tomorrow.

The Last Napoleon

The table was set, the red cloth and service upon it. When Holmes, ever the showman, whipped away the cloth, only a single spoon clattered to the ground. The cloth was flipped with a flourish onto another table, the bust of Napoleon set down precisely.

Moments later, the Black Pearl of the Borgias was revealed, to our stunned applause.

It is indeed a wonderful moment:-)

Well done!

YES. BRETT + tablecloth = YES. I'm excited that was what sung to you this week, because that is a fantastic bit, and you've distilled it beautifully, even getting the one spoon that just won't stay still. Awesome.

WooHoo! I'm tickled that you liked it. It's one of the best episodes and that is THE high point of it for me. (Well, that and Holmes's reaction to Lestrade's praise)
