Ocelot's Note: We apologise for the recent delay in responding to correspondence.  On reflection it might not have been the best idea to delegate this to our sub-editor, who is a Sloth.


I have learned my lesson.  Now, whenever Holmes tries to tell me about one of his past cases, I insist he sorts his papers beforehand.  He complains I sound like his old nanny, “tidy up first, then you can have a story”, but for the sake of occasionally seeing the carpet I am willing to put up with his jibes.

Oh Lord. The sloth! I bet Inky dreads getting invited to tea at the sloth's place. He's written half a sonnet in his head before the cream cakes are even brought out.

And I suspect that it is not the first or last time that Watson sounds like a nanny to Holmes (or to himself).

Everything comes to he who waits :)

Aha, Watson is learning!

It's taken a little while, but he's now caught on :)

...but for the sake of occasionally seeing the carpet I am willing to put up with his jibes. That made me smile a great deal. As did the Ocelot's notes ^__^

We are delighted to have made you smile.

Neat Note! I'm pretty sure Sloths go regularly into sub-editing, and all publishing.

It is indeed a popular occupation for us.

A wise point, Watson...the best of luck in sticking to it:-)

We understand the doctor managed a modicum of success, but any improvement was better than none.

Poor Watson.
Also, your sub-editor may be a close relative of mine.

Just one of the many trials he faces!

He gets there, in the end.
