The Naval Treaty: Percy Phelps

Canon Story: The Naval Treaty
Title: Percy Phelps (the serialisation of the Private Journal of Dr Watson)
Author: thesmallhobbit
Rating: G

Percy Phelps was a prig when he was a small boy.  I remember how he would parade the names of his illustrious relations before us, and how he wished us all to know how much cleverer than us he was.  As an adult he remains querulous, not solely due to his illness.  With any luck our paths won’t cross again.

Goodness. Boys!

Indeed!

I do not wish to argue with the good doctor - but surely any man that the estimable Miss Harrison deems worthy of her hand must have something going for him?

This may be true, but unfortunately Phelps failed to display it to Watson.

Seems like a fair summary...and only in touch with Watson when help is needed.

One suspects Phelps wouldn't have been interested in him otherwise.

If that snob starts harrying you again, just take down the wicket and smile at him - he'll get the hint.

Very good advice.

What a good and original sidelight; and Watson's pov is well done, too.

Thank you. Watson never did care for him.
