Thor Bridge: Clever Girl

Canon Story: Thor Bridge
Author: godsdaisiechain
Rating: T for terrifying
Summary: Perhaps the governess is not as inncoent as she seems
Note: Yes, the title is a quote from Jurassic Park.

No one thought pretty girls could be cunning or clever.  Miss Dunbar had counted on that when she stole the revolvers, rigged one by the bridge, then tidied her wardrobe for the police search. The notes had been trickier.

Foolish Sherlock Holmes! Fancy him thinking that anyone as silly as Mrs. Gibson could have made that shot by sheer geometry!

Miss Dunbar did seem to have Gibson and Holmes beguiled. One wonders if the image that she presented in prison was a true one. And how reliable the narrator is in that respect.

oh! I never thought about Watson being beguiled. I do tend to forget about him sometimes.

Thanks for a really good idea, well written. Miss Dunbar's little sneer at Mrs Gibson is very well done. And the title is excellent.

Thanks! Of course, the title is shameless cribbing (aka 'homage')

If that is the case then I think she and Gibson are well matched.

I did hate to think of an actual ingenue married to him....

A rather unsettling notion...
Well done:-)

I was rather creeped out myself... Thanks!

Watson does bang on about Miss Dunbar's "innate nobility of character" after knowing her a matter of seconds ^^

I love the voice you've given Miss Dunbar - a cheerful touch of psychopathy going on there I think ^_^

I have been binge watching the BBC Sherlock and I suspect that an amalgam of Irene Adler and Moriarty has somehow infiltrated.
