Mrs Warren
Had worries about her lodger foreign
She should have been grateful she did not have cause
To be concerned about a particular lodger from British shores

Still, at least Mrs Hudson knew where she was; even if she didn't know where anything else was.

I'm not even sure of that. "Really, Mr Holmes, I don't know whether I'm coming or going, trying to deal with your behaviour."

I knew I should have tried to rhyme "Gorgiano" instead.

And yours is better than mine... *gives colleague very hard stare* I do like that contrast between "foreign" and "British shores", and that oh, so subtle reference to our hero ^_^

Giuseppe Gorgiano
Sustained a dreadful knife blow
A dagger in his throat
Which left blood all over his coat

Show-off. *gives colleague another hard stare*

Tobias Gregson
Always begs on
Holmes' aid.
('Cos he wants to beat Lestrade*.)


* Granada pronunciation, of course.

*stares back*

Mr Leverton
Had only just come
From the U S of A
Which was a very long way

*maintains fixed stare*

Signora Lucca:
Her landlady mistucca.
But the "man" in his haven,
Holmes knew was clean-shaven.

*returns stare with interest*

Mr Fairdale Hobbs
Was inbetween jobs.
He wouldn't have had quite such a todo
If he'd admitted that the offer was too good to be true.

*stares with just a suggestion of admiration*

The lady on the Brixton bus
Caused quite a fuss
When a certain rat
Raised his hat.

*big round of applause*
I want a podfic of this exchange, complete with stares. PLEASE!!!!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Be very, very careful what you wish for ^____^

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Mrs Warren should be truly grateful, she apparently doesn't have such strong nerves as Mrs Hudson.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

True indeed, very little upsets Mrs Hudson - apart from the state Holmes leaves the rooms in.

:-)
Nicely done:-p
Yep...she should count her blessings:-p

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

She didn't know when she was well off.

You know, after reading about Mrs Warren's cunning appeals to both Holmes' vanity and his kindness, I was wondering whether she and Mrs Hudson had not had a good talk between landladies before Mrs Warren came to Holmes with her request. ;)

It is entirely possible. In which case she would definitely have heard some of Mrs Hudson's grumbles about her lodger.
