Author's Notes: “Not drawn towards drink, eh?”


“Would you mind throwing these empty brandy bottles away?” Watson attempted a smile. “Mr. Holmes has influenza, you see.”

“Yes, of course...”

Mrs. Hudson paused.

“Does brandy cure influenza then, sir?”

“Haven’t the foggiest,” said Watson. “I’m the one who’s been drinking it.”

And he closed his eyes in silent prayer as a bedside bell began to tinkle yet again.

I snorted out loud at that. Poor Dr. Watson.

Poor Watson indeed ^^" But I'm very pleased to have amused you ^__^

Poor lad...I can see it being the only option...desperate times...
And one only drinks to excess if one drinks more than one's physician...

Desperate times call for desperate large measures.

And Mrs Hudson thoughtfully added a bottle of brandy to her regular order from the off licence.

She's a saint, that woman.

He's going to have to re-stock his Gladstone.

Brandy is essentially the only thing his Gladstone contains. And at the moment the only thing Watson contains.

Oh, well done. Poor Watson!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Indeed, indeed... ^^"

Perhaps a judiciously administered 7% solution might help?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I don't think Watson has been pushed that far ^^"

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Sorry-- I meant that he should apply it to Holmes
