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.

Couldn't he take up stamp collecting or something?

Nice work:-)

Oh, poor Watson and his meandering bullet wounds ^^" At least now we can be absolutely certain that he was shot in the leg ^_^

I kind of love the discussion of retirement here. It's so apropos with the timeframe and yet still discussed in exactly the sarcastic way I'd expect from these two. Love it.
