Rating: G

I am glad that I took my friend's advice and consulted Sherlock Holmes. Though I am still in danger, I now have the keen mind of Mr. Holmes on my side. I shall sleep well tonight for the first time in days.

My fears, my apprehensions, my terrors -- finally they are eased. Soon I shall be free from them forever.

Not a problem -- I took it as a really good comparison!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, so ironic and sad.

Being a Holmes client is not quite as deadly as being a Bond girl, but it's certainly not the safest of occupations. Thanks!

you do get to chuck acid and shoot blackmailers though!

[castiron.livejournal.com]

Very true! And occasionally you get to marry his assistant ;-).

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! This is devastating. Egads!

[castiron.livejournal.com]

False sense of security indeed. Thanks!

Free—but not in the way he'd hoped. :(
Well done.

[castiron.livejournal.com]

And not even getting a proper vengeance, alas. Thanks!

[wild-huntress.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is really sad. Well done.

[castiron.livejournal.com]

Yes, poor Openshaw. Thanks!

Oh, ouch. So sad--such hope dashed. Damn, Holmes hesitation.
