Author's Notes: Woman’s heart and mind are insoluble puzzles to the male. A little something for Valentine’s Day.


1 ACROSS the street: a charming gentleman

1 DOWNtrodden landlady: invites him to supper

2 ACROSS the table appear: Holmes and Watson waving guns

2 DOWN under the table: “What the ‘H, something, something, L’, Mr. Holmes?!”

3 ACROSS the room: tenants chase gentleman

3 DOWNcast participants:

“Help!”

“Wait! It’s not the murderer!”

“Drat!”

4 DOWNing brandy: many cross words

And if Mr. Holmes doesn't come ACROSS with a raise in his rent payments, you'll surely feel DOWN.

He's worse than a naughty cat.

Sit DOWN Mr Holmes, I am A CROSS landlady.

If Mr. Holmes doesn't behave himself, he'll be DOWN and out.
