Canon Story: The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Title: The Cloth Vanishes
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Warnings: Truly terrible pun
Author's Notes: “...the incident of the vanishing cloth.”


Holmes’ new client owned a gentlemen’s outfitters.

“Our stocktaking showed that twenty rolls of fabric are missing,” he said. “You must find the thief!”

Holmes investigated and reported back. “I have considered the evidence…” He smirked. “You’ve been placing your orders for the rolls incorrectly.”

“Damn!” said the proprietor.

Holmes tutted. “Such language. And from a man of the cloth.”

Can I just point out, if anything happens to me, you're the one who's going to have to write the discussion posts.

That's okay - I'll pass them over to Mouselet. I'm sure she'll do an excellent job.

*carefully wraps scarf around throat: keeping it loose enough that it won't choke; tight enough that it won't catch on anything else*

*looks in mirror*

*realises scarf clashes with every item of clothing she owns*

*takes a long deep breath, and counts to ten...*

It's not really Watson who has that pawky sense of humour... ^__^

*cringe* This was a terrible pun, my dear Holmes.
And yet, I am still chuckling at it. :D

Both Holmes and myself are most gratified ^^

At least Holmes wrapped the case up quickly.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

That is a point in his favour ^_^
