Canon Story: The Crooked Man
Title: Beastly
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: ...the landlady seemed to be in considerable trepidation, for she had never seen an animal like it.


“It’s the most curious creature...” mused the landlady.

“Yes?” said her friend, wide-eyed.

The landlady nodded. “Sometimes it’s curled up, thinking about its prey. Sometimes it’s dashing around the room. And once I caught it climbing the curtain!”

“What is this creature?” the friend whispered.

“It has many names but I call it…”

The landlady’s voice dropped.

“...a consulting detective!”

Same beady eyes and everything.

Best kept securely in its cage until required for snake hunting.

That would indeed be best, yes...

Some sort of pest control seems in order...

I think so... ^_^

Sorry, Puss! Well thought. And he is, indeed, mongoose-like.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

The similarity cannot be ignored ^_^

Ha ha! Perfect. Although Holmes is avowedly not interested in birds :)

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Well, yes... *giggles*
