Author's Notes: “…a [wo]man of personality can use hypnotism without any vulgar passes or tomfoolery.”



“Using hypnotism! Completely immoral,” muttered Holmes.

“Indeed,” murmured Mrs. Hudson. “Mr. Holmes, will you be performing any… noxious experiments tonight?”

“I was but…” Holmes yawned.

“You are feeling sleepy?”

Holmes frowned. “Mrs. Hudson—have you been performing your own experiment?”

“No, sir! Surely you can tell I am speaking the truth.” Mrs. Hudson leant forwards. “Just look into my eyes…”

Oooh my ... *grin*
Did the long-suffering of mortals find a way to coerce her lodger for being useful?
Just imagine if she decided to use it for housework. And then, Mr. Holmes, nail that shelf down.

I'm sure Mrs. Hudson would never take advantage in this way. The fact that shortly after this Holmes felt the need to completely tidy his sitting room was pure coincidence. (*looks shifty*)

Oh yes, pure coincidence indeed. ^^

Love this one! And it will probably do Holmes good to have a sound sleep.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes - a sound sleep whenever Mrs. Hudson clicks her fingers... ^_^

*lol* Mrs Hudson's last resort: hypnotising the master detective. Brilliant!

Sometimes a landlady's gotta do what a landlady's gotta do... ^__^

Thanks so much ^^ Mrs. Hudson is certainly a woman of many talents, isn't she? ^_^

And coincidentally, it was at this point that Mr. Holmes voluntarily started paying double the amount of rent... (^_^)
