Author's Notes: “Now then; one, two, three⸺"


Holmes and Mrs. Hudson both possessed impressive singing voices, and one evening I managed to persuade them to demonstrate their talents before Lestrade.

Our guest sat open-mouthed, as the two voices rang out together—one deep and one high.

“Astonishing, aren’t they?” I whispered.

“Yes…” Lestrade hesitated. “Though I must admit I’d been expecting Mrs. Hudson to be the soprano.”



A/N: I heard a ring at the bell, followed by the high, somewhat strident tones of my old companion's voice. (STOC)

Victor Trevor will confirm that Holmes played all the female roles for their stage productions at university.

There are many educated people in the North - but H&B aficionados are a bit thin on the ground everywhere :P

Did someone mention insanity in another of this week's posts?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I have never denied the insanity in my writing. I'm just pleased the entire comm is going that way ^_^
