sherlock60Canon Story: The Crooked Man
Rating: Teen (for a not-especially-funny testicle joke & blasphemous use of the Old Testament)
Summary: Holmes channels Dupin.
Author's Note: According to wikipedia, "the story of David's adultery sets up the context for the penitential Psalm 51. The final verse of the psalm is: "Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar."

“Rheumatism troubling you, Watson?”
“How’d you deduce that?”
“Association of ideas. After I spoke of David and Bathsheba, you shifted uncomfortably in your chair. The former violated the latter at the bath, which is where you seek relief for your afflictions, is it not? I forget, how does that penitential psalm of David’s end?”
I chuckled. “With bullocks on altars.”
