Author's Notes: (...there's something lurking beneath the floorboards... "Oh, hello"...)


‘Watson, you were gunned-down by a genuine Wild West gunslinger from one of your yellow-backed novels!’

‘Luckily you managed to cosh him on the head. I didn’t even manage one shot for his two. I must be getting old.’

‘Perhaps we should reconsider retirement. Criminals these days have traded cleverness for violence.’

‘What, and give up my bullet-wound collecting hobby?’

.oOOo.

Thank you! I like to think that these two great friends communicate a lot with banter. Repressed Victorian (Edwardian) gentlemen would not state their feelings directly so any affection or friendship would be relegated to subtext.
