Rating: PG
Author's Notes: I find it recorded in my notebook that it was a bleak and windy day towards the end of March in the year 1892. A case in 1892 when Holmes was “dead”? “1892” may be what Watson reads in his notes but it surely can’t be what he wrote.

There can be only one explanation…



“Unhand him!” Holmes swiftly disarmed the assailant holding the blade to Watson’s throat.

Watson sighed.

“Do let Mr. Skinner finish my shave, Holmes.”

“But,” Holmes panted, “you left a scribbled note saying you’d been abducted!”

Watson glanced at the proffered paper.

“It says: ‘at barber’s’.”

“Heavens,” said Holmes. “Apparently even my powers of deduction cannot cope with a doctor’s handwriting.”

Thank heavens they all use computers these days :P

That explains a lot ;)

It certainly does ^^ All the things that don't add up in Watson's narratives? Some poor typist at the publishers hasn't been able to interpret Watson's scrawl ^_^

Indeed! That's a great contribution (and relief) to this academic field.

*lol* The most brilliant and obvious explanation for many of Watson's odd mistakes.

It does make a lot of sense, doesn't it? ^__^
