Canon Story: The Stock-broker's Clerk
Title: Paddington
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: Shortly after my marriage I had bought a connection in the Paddington district. (STOC) ...there was that majestic figure prostrate and insensible upon our bearskin hearth-rug. (PRIO) Mentions of ‘Paddington’ always send my thoughts in one particular direction... An alternate explanation for how the bearskin rug came to Baker Street.


Mary frowned. “What’s that, dear?”

Watson unrolled the furry rug.

“I found it at the station. With a note simply saying: ‘Please look after this bearskin. Thank you.’”

Mary shook her head.

“Perhaps Mr. Holmes would like it. It’s rather large for us.”

She took a step back.

“And it does seem to be giving me quite a hard stare.”

Difficult to get all the marmalade out, though. Love it!

Greatly relieved that it was famed and everyone knew what I was getting at ^^" (^__^)

Indeed, indeed... ^____^

Thank you ^_^

Thank you ^_^ And me too, to be honest - the books and the short animations were such a part of my childhood.

Your mind wanders in interesting directions... It does on occasion when it's feeling bold ^__^ And thank you ^_^

Seems rather hard to get rid of it, since it had come all the way from deepest, darkest Peru.

It was formerly in the care of an elderly lady named Lucy I believe ^^
