Title: The Two Lesbias
Author: godsdaisiechain
Rating: PG
Summary/Notes: The Nora Creina was a popular tune about Lesbia as well as a ship.

“The Nora Creina?” Watson asked, folding a newspaper. “HUSH!!!” The Diogenes Club hissed as one.

“Of the two Lesbias,” Sherlock said as they gained the pavement. “Perhaps significant?” Watson scowled.

“Or not. You are rather more robust, my dear Watson, than any lesbian.”

Watson paused as Holmes adjusted his deerstalker with a pointed wink. They linked arms and headed home.

Very nice. And I like the phrase 'gain the pavement.' I am assuming that's a thing and not your invention?

I couldn't find it when I looked it up, but I feel like it's a Jane Austen thing.

Oh! In The Pirates of Penzance, in the song 'Climbing over rocky mountain', the girls sing:

Scaling rough and rugged passes,/ Climb the hardy little lasses/ Till the bright sea-shore they gain!
