Mrs. Hudson beamed goodwill over the tea tray.  Watson somehow suppressed a chuckle at Holmes’s droll expression.

The pastel hues and floral details adorning an army of Battenbergs and marzipan cakes contrasted starkly with the test tube holders and withered house plants.

“You have been going on about marzipan, dear.”

All his own fault!

And submissions are welcome all week, so you're not late at all.

oh! I thought they were due on Sunday (which is why I drifted last year... I felt so guilty being late)

Yes... one should not go on about things in a slurred way while refusing proper meals.

Most people post on Sunday - and there are generally more discussions going on because people are around - but there is no obligation to do so.

Well, that's a relief. I beetled to my favorite coffee shop to dash something out this morning...

Far be it from me to take away an excuse to visit your favourite coffee shop.

Exactly, my dear thesmallhobbit.

I get it now - the entire bizarre tale was a marzipan-induced nightmare! Windsor McCay must have written it.

LOL... that's much cleverer than I was. The genesis of this particular ficlet was the fact that I read "marzipan"for "Mazarin" *sigh*

I think you've got it!

Ah, well, the marzipan was worth it.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!

I wonder if the dummy was made out of marzipan rather than wax...

And Mr. Holmes should learn to enunciate ^^

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Wow... now that would be a sight (and perhaps a delicious almondy smell)

[laurose8.livejournal.com]

A very nice scene. I bet Holmes enjoyed the food, too. And Watson as well.

Excellent phrase - the test tube holders and withered house plants.

Thanks! I was inspired by all the chat of violets below.
