Rating: Gen
Summary: In which Holmes learns that Watson is branching out in terms of genre and the mystery of the missing page of the first report is resolved.
Author's Note: Orchids, yes, orchids.

“Good, Watson. Next page, wait, what?”

‘Would you fetch me that orchid amongst the mare’s-tails yonder?’
‘I shall pluck whatever silken-leafed, many-folded blossom you desire, my dark-eyed beauty.’
‘We’re rich in orchids here,’ she breathed, her perfect figure trembling in his embrace.
‘There’s only one petalled treasure I seek…’

“‘The Wild Orchid of the Moor’ by Ormond Sacker!” Holmes ejaculated.
