Canon Story: The Resident Patient

Today Holmes wagered he could fake a catatonic state which would take in anybody whom I chose to name.  I named Mrs Hudson, who took full advantage of the situation to dust our rooms.  Once satisfied with the state of the rooms, she used the feather duster on Holmes, who sneezed loudly, thus losing the bet.  Holmes was not happy.

Well played, Watson:-)
(And Mrs H, of course...)

Holmes was very unwise in his wager.

Hee, hee. The scene is hilarious. I suppose it's pre-The Dying Detective because I think she'd use something heavier than feathers after that stunt.

Indeed. We have yet to reach that particular journal entry.

Of course, Watson always knows what he's doing when it comes to a wager ^__^

Well, there are flutters and, in this case, dead-certs.

Brava! And Watson is half-a-crown richer for it, too.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Indeed he is!

But Mrs Hudson was, I'm sure. And the readers certainly are.

Thank you. Mrs Hudson was delighted - the rooms dusted and Mr Holmes bested.
