Canon Story: Blanched Soldier

Rating: PG

Colonel Emsworth frowned.  Godfrey was not a leper, but sorrow weighed his heart.

Godfrey was no great correspondent, yet Jimmie had two letters.  And Jimmie had hired Sherlock Holmes to be reunited with Godfrey.

Who was an invert.  They were clearly quite deeply in love.

Colonel Emsworth thanked all the gods that he could keep this secret on his own.

Neatly done...another layer of the tale uncovered.

And yet wished heartily it was not so.

Thanks! I did wonder why the persistence in the face of parental ire.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Only marginally better than leprosy, after all.

It is an interesting reading of the story.

And I liked the way you showed how Colonel Emsworth made his own deductions.

Well thought and convincing; and a good last line. Thank you.

I like the last line too. Leprosy is a versatile metaphor.

Thanks. I was a bit afraid it was a stretch.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the kind words!

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Wow.... I just got that. Thanks!!

Whew. Thank goodness the Colonel prefers to keep the secret!
