Aw man. *scribbles out address on envelope, rewrites The Strand.*

Very wise. It would appear it is a slightly less discerning publication.

I've just thought - Mouselet is a writer of... striking... non-fiction but she hasn't been branching out into fiction, has she? I mean - MAZA... She didn't. Did she?

Oh...I had best stick to the day job, then:-(

Any practical advice on fitting extra doors to window alcoves? Quiet hinges essential.

This is hilarious. I hadn't thought about it, but it IS kind of an advertisement for the super-carpenter who did the remodeling job at 221B, no?

Maybe she got the wise and helpful and companionable Billy to help her while she dictated...

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes! And he took the opportunity to do a little Gary Stu self-insert...

[debriswoman]

Yes...what were they thinking?

I feel I should point out there is an obvious omission which proves this cannot be Mouselet's work. Somehow, somewhere, even if he had nothing to do with the case Inspector Hopkins name would have been included - if only to bewail his absence.

The firm concerned advertise on a fairly regular basis - I believe they come highly recommended.

So that's why!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

It makes sense ;)

I suppose 2 doors allows for traditional farce scenarios

One of their satisfied customers is a Mr B Rix.

[debriswoman]

Of course:-p

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes, I didn't think of that...

Yes, clearly the violets were completely fictional (as they may quarrel with the aspidistra). Good catch on the part of the editorial staff.

We are always suspicious at any mention of violets.
