Three Garridebs: A Sudden Holiday

Canon story: Three Garridebs
Title: A Sudden Holiday
Author: godsdaisiechain
Rating: G

The bohemian bachelors huddled over inexpensive spirits.  “Poor Garrideb,” said one.

“Prescott weren’t a bad sort at home,” said the collector of unusual beetles.

“Imagine, five million pounds, though.” said the painter.

“Dollars,” said Mr. Dombey, irritating the rest.

None of them wondered about Mrs. Saunders’s sudden holidays or worried when she never returned.  Who noticed caretakers except when needed?

Very neat! What a good idea, and I hope she had a good time.

The punchline's well delivered, and I do like "Dollars,” said Mr. Dombey, irritating the rest.

Thanks... I sort of borrowed the idea of everyone being irritated from Harry Potter, though.

I rather like this as an idea...there must be other barely mentioned characters to take advantage:-)

Thanks! I always feel a bit like other things have been covered... I really wanted to write something from the Cro-Magnon perspective, but it kind of flopped.

So Mrs. Saunders disappeared with the counterfeit cash? ^_^ I have to admit I sort of admire her for that ^^

And I love that you actually show us the Bohemian bachelors.

Yes, but not all of the cash. Just enough.

Every Sunday I have to either go back to the story and read more carefully and/or google something. Nicely done. Thank you for the re-read. Love the phrase bohemian bachelors.

I think I cribbed 'bohemian bachelors' from ACD. I am glad to spur others on to Googling!

Well done Mrs Saunders!

After having to dust all those plaster skulls, she deserves it.
