The Missing Three Quarter, Partisan, G

Catch up fic based on three nostalgia-inducing words in this story and a large assumption about Holmes. Forgive me. Mr Tweed, not a word. Not one. :-P

The Adventure of the Missing Three Quarter

Despite my protests, I know something of teamwork and its sacrifices: have I not abandoned my chemical solace because of Watson's hatred for it? And if, in truth, I haven't the least idea what our client is talking about, I see clearly his determination that our University prevail against the time-honoured foe. After so many years, old loyalties still beckon.

Supporting the old alma mater, eh? Be true to your school, Mr. Holmes. ;D ;D

Absolutely.

Hee hee! Go Cambridge! :-D (I wonder which college Holmes belonged to?)

Yeah, gooooooo Cambridge. Oh, be quiet, Mr Tweed.

I heard speculation it was Sidney Sussex, something to do with details in the Gloria Scott story, but I'd plump for Clare (full of scarily brainy people, at least when I was up) or Peterhouse (oldest college, tendency towards oddballishness).
Trinity is, and clearly was then, very hearty and sporty(rowing, rugby), so maybe not a good place for Holmes.

I'd lobby for Jesus College myself (set away and apart from the others, walks to the beat of its own drummer, plenty of ancient scandals, and Radegund) - but I'm a bit biased. Queen's has the mathematical bridge *and* is the alma mater of Stephen Fry, so that would be a good choice, too. But I like your argument for Clare, and I love Peterhouse, so...

Oh heck. As long as it's one of the Cambridge colleges, it's all good. ;-)

Oh, nice! The old loyalties bit is great, but I especially like the thought about teamwork. Lovely to know Holmes thinks of the two of them that way.

One would like to think so, yes.
