BLAN – Following the Example
It was a far more difficult task than I ever imagined, writing up one of my cases for public consumption. Far lonelier, too. Each word reminded me of my own soldier’s absence.

But capturing the depths of loyalty between two men, the extraordinary lengths one might go to for the other?  That part was simplicity itself, thanks to long example.

MAZA – Quite the Mystery
I dashed off a telegram, so angry I could hardly fill out the form.  WATSON STOP EXPLAIN MOST RECENT PUBLICATION IN STRAND STOP SH FINAL STOP

A response was not long in coming. HOLMES STOP MOST CONFUSED STOP THOUGHT IT WAS YOURS STOP NOT MY WORK STOP JHW FINAL STOP

I nearly dropped the message. If not Watson, then whom?

These were both lovely, and made me smile.

Thank you!

I'm rather glad neither Holmes nor Watson know who wrote it.

[methylviolet10b]

Me too. It's a better mystery than the one on the page, I think... ;-)

Thanks!
