Mr Holmes said to my driver it was urgent so I tore down the roads from Baker Street to Brixton Road as fast as was possible.   I could not have got there any quicker had I had the wings of my namesake.  There was sweat pouring down my sides, but we made it in time and the lady was saved.

Yes. Yes, I am. (^^")

Hooray for the valiant horse! I'm delighted he knows he was vital to saving the lady at hand. Poor guy worked hard and deserves some serious credit!

To paraphrase Inspector Lestrade - there isn't a horse that wouldn't do its best for Sherlock Holmes.

Equine to the rescue! Fleet of foot *and* with horse sense - Holmes was very lucky indeed that such a noble animal was between the traces. :-)

He was. Fortunately Pegasus had been well-named.
