Thor Bridge: Family Herald

Rating: G

I had refrained from making any comment about the Family Herald, for I feared Holmes might recognise the style of one of the contributors as having similarities to a certain series of detective tales that were featured in the Strand magazine.  But when Hopkins commented on the fact, although how he noticed I cannot imagine, Holmes merely winked at me.

What a versatile writer Watson is ^^

It has to be said that Holmes is indirectly rather complimentary about the romance in the Family Herald. I think he's secretly a fan ^_^

Holmes is certainly a fan - he always reads the stories by a certain author first ;)

LOL! Watson has been doing a little moonlighting, I see! ;)

Well, Holmes all but admitted he read the story. And he was not as dismissive about it as one might expect! Perhaps the new cook was not the only one to find it so gripping. :D

Indeed. And the reason the eggs were hardboiled was that the cook thought she had misplaced her copy of Family Herald the previous day and had been unable to read the story. Whereas in fact Holmes had 'borrowed' it.

Well thought! And thanks for sharing. The cook was quite right, then.

Thank you. She was indeed.

Well, our beloved Doctor is truly a romantic ... writer.
But, pray somebody tell me, just when does Watson engage in his official duties? ^^

Since he no longer has a practice, I suspect he is free to do as much writing as he fancies and probably just the occasionally locum job to keep himself up to date with medical practice.
