Title: The usual

Warning: snobbiness and gunpowder.
Summary: The wait staff at Simpson’s are not amused when Holmes and Watson appear.



The maître d’hotel suppressed a shudder when Sherlock Holmes walked in, doctor friend in tow, both eager for a Wellington of beef and the lobster soup.  Their usual.  Such uninteresting men.

How one wished to have served Charles Dickens, who never reeked of gunpowder nor looked the very spectre of death.

“Good evening, Mr. Holmes. Your usual table, I presume?”

Very nice! And welcome! I googled Simpson's to see if there was an example of a Victorian menu so I could have an idea of what they would've eaten and couldn't find anything. Holmes will probably have a bit of stomach trouble if he throws beef Wellington on an 3-day empty system. But serves him right for stinking up a fine establishment.

I love the idea that the waiters are going "Oh, God. Not again" when Holmes and Watson turn up, rather than falling over one another to serve them ^__^

What a good idea, and well treated: Their usual. Such uninteresting men.
