The Naval Treaty: Rare Characters

Canon Story: The Naval Treaty
Rating: Gen
Summary: Handwriting tells.
Author's Note: Inspired by godsdaisiechain's entry.

“I concede the point about the handwriting being a woman’s, Holmes, but how did you know that she was of rare character?"
“When we return to London, I shall do a demonstration and point out the telling characteristics of the Phelps letter and a similar missive.”
“What missive?”
“The one Mrs. Watson included enclosed with the invitation to your wedding.”

Oh, crikey - this is so touching ^^" I love how generous Holmes is about Mrs. Watson. (Though I would imagine he would say he was simply being logical and seeing things as they are.)

And what an inspired idea.

Thank you! I liked very much godsdaisiechain's image of the other week and thought it was curious that Holmes doesn't really explain what about the handwriting makes Miss Harrison a rare character. Thank you, thank you.

What a lovely touch to pick up on godsdaisiechain's image and use it for Holmes to show Watson.

Thank you! I quite liked it and thought of it when I read the bit about Miss Harrison's handwriting.

Nice addition to the original inspiration!

That Mary Morstan is a woman of rare character is the one thing that comforts Holmes in the loss of his companion.
