Author's Notes: “...window-breaking Furies…” My story is set in 1903.


“I’m leaving for my Women’s Suffrage meeting now, Mr. Holmes.”

“Oh, Mrs. Hudson…”

Holmes looked over and smiled kindly.

“Naturally I respect you. But electing governments needs logic! Reason!”

And bringing up his gun, he carried on shooting at the sitting room wall.

Mrs. Hudson sighed and put on her hat.

“I’ll be back in time to serve supper, sir.”

Snort. Yep, the logical rational sex has spoken once again.

Mr. Holmes is big on logic and reason but he's not entirely consistent in that regard ^_^

It's bizarre thinking about it now that a woman like Mrs. Hudson, supporting herself and owning her own property, wouldn't have had a vote because she was female. But did you know that when the Suffragists and Suffragettes were campaigning for votes for women in Britain, 40% of British men also didn't qualify to vote? Because they weren't wealthy enough. It just seems unbelievable now.

Oh, Mr Holmes...

His is an astonishing brain ^_^

Just don't blame me if there is a surfeit of pepper.

Revenge is sweet savoury.

Clearly it's more logical to shoot the wall than to get the vote.

Holmes can be as illogical as the rest of us sometimes ^_^
