Rating: PG
Character(s): Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Summary: Holmes reads between the lines.
Warnings: Spoilers for an important event in 3GAR.
Word Count: 60, plus an extended-play version (100 words).
Author's Notes: 60 words of my own inspired by one of the canon stories. In this case, also inspired by the original publication date of 3GAR (1924).
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
3GAR – Method
The details have been changed almost beyond recognition; certainly beyond the ken of his casual readers. But I am no novice in understanding Watson’s writing. He is dozing in his chair, but I need not wake him to understand.
It is 1924, and although Watson’s health is failing, he is still with me. History could have so easily gone otherwise.
Extended-play edition (100 words):
The details of the case are changed almost beyond recognition; certainly beyond the ken of his casual readers. But I am no novice in understanding Watson’s writing. The detailed description of a hermit scholar cut off from all others; the almost-trivialized description of an injury (and a fall, I can still see him stagger and collapse in my mind’s eye) that l briefly believed fatal.
He is dozing in his chair, but I need not wake him to understand. It is 1924, and although Watson’s health is failing, he is still with me. History could have so easily gone otherwise.
