Hound of the Baskervilles: Biscuit Trouble

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Title: Biscuit Trouble
Canon story: Hound of the Baskervilles
Author: godsdaisiechain
Rating: G
Warnings: Mrs. Hudson is precsient.
Notes: Draws on the theater and melodrama information we had some weeks ago....


“The cry of a gigantic hound?  What nonsense,” Mrs. Hudson set biscuits in a neat line.

“Implausible, certainly,” Holmes disturbed the line, munched messily.  “Growl? Perhaps. Cry? Unlikely.”

“Or a huge mastiff covered with that glowing paint they’re so fond of in Drury Lane.  No, that’s a silly notion.”

A crumbly mass of biscuit fell to the carpet.

“Oh! Sherlock!”

Nice! I love it when Mrs. Hudson or Watson get to be the smart one. There's a 1937 German film version where she deduces the warning letter has been cut from the Times.

Cool! I'm not sure this Mrs. Hudson understand that she figured anything out, though. ...

But sadly not sufficiently precsient to prepare for the biscuit crumbs.

I'm not 100% sure it's possible to be prescient enough for biscuit crumbs.

Well done, Mrs. Hudson ^^

And I don't know why, but the business with Holmes and the biscuits left me helpless with laughter ^__^ (I should probably get out more ^_^)

He's so rarely nonplussed. I'm sure it's that.

Very neat. And Holmes might feel a bit redunadant if Mrs Hudson was his regular Watson.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Good point! He might also not get the good biscuits.

Well done Mrs H
Best biscuit scene I have read in a long time, by the way:-)

Thanks. You can't argue with a good biscuit.
