Author's Notes: Watson gives us some notes on BERY...



...our bow-window…¹

1. Our second window remained as yet unrepaired, post the Hope affair.


...beat his head against the wall…²

2. Bill for further damage: £1/5/-


...easy, soothing tones…³

3. Doesn’t work on Mrs. Hudson apparently...


...thirty-nine enormous beryls…⁴

4. Later adopted as the name of a ladies’ dancing troupe, of course.

I’m still in touch with Miss Beryl Murgatroyd.

Between Hobbit's private journal and your annotations, there's a whole undiscovered country opening up!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I didn't think of that ^^" I am rather encroaching on Small Hobbit's turf here. *looks around nervously*

But it's always fascinating getting a further glimpse into the mind of the man who managed to live with Sherlock Holmes ^^

There is no problem in your including Dr Watson's notes in your own reports, but please be aware some items may recurr in the Doctor's journal.

I await any overlap with interest ^_^

And Mrs Hudson has now demanded an additional deposit with regards to wear and tear (apparently it has gone in a bottle labelled gin fund).

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Mrs. Hudson is referring to emotional wear and tear I take it. (Should we be staging some kind of intervention with regard to Mrs. Hudson and the gin? ^^")

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

You may try to intervene between Mrs Hudson and her gin, I'm not brave enough to do so.

Wonderful:-)

Thank you so much ^_^

One wonders if Watson has a whole jewel-box full of 'contacts' - Ruby, Emerald, Jasper...

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

That's such a lovely idea ^_^

I know I would love to found a Scion Society called the Enormous Beryls of (Wherever)!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I would so love to be an Enormous Beryl ^___^

In fact, it was rereading our discussion under the previous intro post that gave me the idea for this 60 ^_^

They haven't had that window repaired yet?? No wonder Mrs. Hudson is not easily soothed. Happily, that extra thousand pounds should pay nicely for the damages to the place.

I believe Mrs. Hudson had been making increasingly threatening noises about receiving the cash for the window. This is why Holmes was so keen to accept the reward money ^^
