Author's Notes: …though he docketed any fresh information very quietly and accurately in his brain, he seldom made any acknowledgment to the giver.


Easter

“Violets!” beamed Mrs. Hudson. “How did you guess my favourites?”

Holmes smiled. “I have my methods.”


“’Methods’? I told you,” spluttered Watson later.

“Tsk,” said Holmes. “Does it matter how our lessons come to us?”



Christmas

“Buying me unmentionables! Mr. Holmes, it’s… unseemly!”

“But Dr. Watson said..!”


“Well,” said Watson, safely upstairs. “It appears Holmes has learnt a lesson.”

And let's hope he remembers it!

Honestly, Holmes!

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Unseemly, indeed!

Neatly turned. I do like “Does it matter how our lessons come to us?”

*grins* Brilliant!

I think this particular lesson will be seared into the wall of his brain-attic ^_^

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

He should really have known better than to listen to Watson on this occasion ^^

Poor Holmes - he just doesn't understand women ^_^

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^^ I had a bit of trouble with that sentence actually - it had to work in with the punchline, of course ^^

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much ^_^

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

or Dr. Watson

Oh, no - Watson understands women. This is why he suggested to Holmes that Mrs. Hudson would be happy to receive - ahem - "nether garments" from him. He knew exactly what the end result would be :P

my bad

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

lol... sorry!

I meant that Holmes doesn't understand Watson. Serves him right, really.

Re: my bad

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Looking back at your other comment now, it is completely unambiguous ^^" I'm sorry that I misunderstood you ^^

Re: my bad

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

No, no. I should have typed out the whole sentence.

ROFL! I love how quick Holmes is to throw Watson under the bus when his "methods" prove faulty. Quite the contrast to his caginess before.

Great job--this literally made me LOL.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased it made you laugh ^_^

And I think Holmes panics once he sees the unholy rage in Mrs. Hudson's eyes... *giggles*

*grin*
My my, I didn't know Watson can be so mischievous.
Yet, thinking about it ... to survive so long with Holmes, one needs to cultivate certain character traits, right?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Watson does have that "pawky humour" of course ^__^ I think he's developed it as an act of self-defence ^^
