Canon Story: The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: Lord Harringby, The Dingle; Sir George Ffolliott, Oxshott Towers; Mr. Hynes Hynes, J. P., Purdey Place… “The other mansions belonged to prosaic and respectable people who live far aloof from romance…”


Mr. Hynes Hynes, J.P.
Defines fines to the ha’penny.
As he upholds the law,
Holmes sets him down as a bore.



A/N: For the younger members of the audience: “ha’penny” is a halfpenny and is pronounced “hayp-nee”. And a JP is a Justice of the Peace. And “Hynes Hynes” is a ridiculous double-barrelled upper class surname. (I think that covers everything… ^^)

Thanks ^_^ I suppose Watson supplied everyone in the story with pseudonyms. Was he having a bit of fun by calling the JP, Hynes Hynes? ^^

[debriswoman]

I suspect so:-)

Now, had he taken on the cook this would have enlivened him a bit ;)

I like that idea ^_^ (I would prefer the poor cook to have a happy ending ^^") Hynes Hynes is a prosaic, respectable, unromantic man. He wouldn't be bothered by the cook's appearance or his religion - I'm sure the cook would be comfortable in his household ^^

I loved that you picked such an obscure character for the clerihew and found such intriguing rhymes for what little Watson (or rather Holmes) gives us of the Justice of the Peace. The Author's Notes were very much appreciated.

Must admit I was consciously trying to pick someone that no-one else would do ^_^ But Mr Hynes Hynes was the one who jumped out at me from that list. It's such a silly name ^_^ And I'm glad you found the notes useful. I put them in to be on the safe side, in case people wondered what on earth I was going on about ^^"
