Title: I Say, Watson!
Canon Story: Copper Beeches
Rating: Gen
Summary: In which Holmes harrumphs.
Author's Note: For once, Holmes is the author-self-insert.

“’Running up, I blew its brains out….’ I say, Watson!”
“Blame the editors. They are now clamouring for less comic relief, more action!”
He harrumphed.  “But for the mirror, I’d hardly know who we are anymore!”
I glanced at our reflections in the glass. “We do make a fetching pair, don’t we?”
He smiled. “Indeed. Illustrator and editors be damned.”
