The Veiled Lodger: Distraction

Canon Story: The Veiled Lodger
Title: Distraction
Author: thesmallhobbit
Rating: G
A/N: The ocelot first made its appearance at the first telling of The Veiled Lodger.  It seemed appropriate therefore to provide another story now and to dedicate it to scfrankles who is doing sterling work at keeping this comm going.

Why did Holmes have to send for Watson?  We were in the process of rehearsing our part in a case.  Dr Watson and I would saunter along the pavement in front of the smart hotel, distracting both the commissionaire and the bodyguard; whilst Mr Holmes was able to reach the hotel room unobserved and find the evidence that he needed.

Oh, very nice. I hope we hear more about this. The more the better.

One day I shall probably get around to writing it. Unfortunately most of my ACD longer tales are written for anonymous exchanges and if an ocelot turned up several people would instantly know who had written it ;)

I hope, if you ever do (please!), you post at least a link in this comm. Ocelot Power!

I'll make sure I do.

And that is a lovely icon.

Seconding that there needs to be a full story, featuring the ocelot. :)

Some day ...

Of course - the obvious explanation... ^___^

And thank you for the dedication ^^

Naturally ;)

My pleasure :)

An excellent plan:-p

Holmes had the original idea, but it was the ocelot that perfected it.

It's obvious that there is not just a story about a trained cormorant waiting to be written, but that an ocelot has been around all along to help out Holmes and Watson. :)

I fear when the time comes that they will both turn up in the same story.
