Author's Notes: It may have been a comedy, or it may have been a tragedy. Run fast, run far, Hopkins…



“So you enjoyed the play?”

“Watson, it was glorious!” laughed Holmes. “The comic misunderstandings! The melodramatic ending! I simply cannot comprehend why no-one else was amused.”

Still chortling, Holmes went to ring for supper.

“You appear puzzled, Doctor,” sighed Hopkins.

“No, it’s just…” Watson hesitated. “I thought you were going to see ‘Romeo and Juliet’.”

Hopkins groaned quietly. “We did.”

*fails to stifle her laughter* Oh, Holmes.
Awww, poor Hopkins. I bet he felt quite embarrassed.
Lovely mental picture. ^^

I have visions of Hopkins pretending he didn't know Holmes when they left the theatre.

First--I love this! It's fabulous.

But, sadly, Sherlock is technically correct. Romeo and Juliet is full of comic misunderstandings and melodramatic endings... and they used to 'fix' it up in Victorian times. Did you ever see the reenactment of Romeo and Juliet in the RSC "Nicholas Nickelby"? Very melodramatic and very (un)intentionally funny.
