Title: Its own quiet
Canon story: Copper Beaches
Author: godsdaisiechain
Rating: G
Summary/notes:  Sherlock Holmes had other things on his mind than the self-sufficient Violet.

Mrs. Fowler.  Never had words sounded so sweet.  Alice packed for their wedding tour through bustling urban places and beaches, far from the country sounds that still brought her screaming awake from a sound sleep at night.

The day before they left a parcel came.  Her hair.  And a card, “a city has its own kind of quiet.”  --SH

Yeah, leave the horrid country alone. Take in a show, Alice!

Edited because I got the wrong gal. Enjoy your burger!

Thanks.... they have free wifi

Very wise decision. And a thoughtful touch from Holmes.

Enjoy Vienna - I am determined to go there.

It's quite nice....but try a different time of year. It's like a furnace with all the sun beating off the stone buildings.

Yes, I think autumn or spring would be better. We were in Salzburg on a hot day in May and there was only so much we could do it was too hot.

It's much the same here. We're having to leave congress sessions because it's so ridiculously stifling and I got a whopper of a sunburn having dinner outdoors with colleagues.

I've never been to Salzburg, though... on the list

A whole new world is opening up for Alice at last ^^

Too bad about her brain fever and hair, poor thing

Bravo! Holmes' heart and mind are both at their best. And Alice is so alive in this 60. Thanks for this fine light on canon.

Thanks for the kind comments as always

A lovely way to comfort a client.

And have some Mozartkugeln for me while you're in Vienna!

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

What is Mozartkugeln? Sounds scrumptious....

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

When I was in Vienna you couldn't take three steps without passing a store selling Mozartkugeln (aka Mozart Candies or Mozart Balls) - fudge center, marzipan mantle and covered with chocolate and the whole thing wrapped in gold foil with a picture of Wolfie on the front. You can really only get them in the States around Christmastime at Cost Plus or the like, and they sell out fast.

Oh!! I saw an ad for those at the tram station. I thought the green center looked a bit scary, but perhaps that's a different type?

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

I think the green is the marzipan.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

I've got to the bottom of that... it was some type of pistachio-flavored special one for some occasion that was clearly explained in German. I found a store just off Stephansplatz selling just the normal ones when I finally got to spend time in the city center.

Scratch that last "explanation"-- the "normal" one was the special one.

Sadly, they all needed to be sampled. Poor me.
