Title: What does man want more?
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: I brought Cartwright down with me… and he has seen after my simple wants: a loaf of bread and a clean collar… He has given me an extra pair of eyes upon a very active pair of feet… What does man want more?


Cartwright had left for his Grimpen lodgings and Holmes was alone again, pondering.

The boy was a fine assistant. However...

Holmes sighed.

Turning away from his fire, he gazed out at the moor.

Hopefully the reunion with his 'conductor of light' would be soon. He had not realised how much he would miss having Watson to discuss the case with.

Aw. Very sweet. Nice to know Watson isn't completely replacable.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Never! Never! ^___^

So true - not properly appreciated until not there.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly ^_^

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Aw.... he misses his chief interlocutor (or maybe his less simple wants).

; )

Well, I do remember at the beginning of 3STU, Watson mentions Holmes is being quite grumpy because he's away from all his Baker Street stuff ^__^

And welcome back, btw! ^_^

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Sorry I've been away.

Aw. There's such a difference between an assistant and a friend-and-colleague!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

There is indeed ^_^

Frankly, Watson should have responded to that comment with an acidic "So I can be replaced by a 14-year-old telegram-boy, is that it?"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Now that you've said it, I rather like the thought that Watson actually did and then edited himself for the book ^__^

[laurose8.livejournal.com]

Nice! Both the idea and how well it's written.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^_^

Oh yes, Holmes, absence has indeed made the heart grow fonder:-)

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Bless him ^__^

The old softie:-)
