Title: An Unclean Shave
Canon Story: The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Summary: Holmes isn't the only one who notices the effects of a right-sided bedroom window. POV Miss Turner.

Thank goodness, an answer to prayer! I am certain he will uncover the truth and wake James from this wretched nightmare!

“Oh, Mister Sherlock Holmes!”

Now, which one of them is he?

Him? No, surely a great detective can give himself a more precise shave than that. Let’s hope it’s other one.

“I am so glad that you have come…”

Well observed that lady!

Watson calls it 'women's intuition' but maybe it's actually something more familiar to him.

I love Miss Turner's mental roll of the eyes ^__^ Let’s hope it’s other one. ^_^ She's quite right though - you'd hope a detective was attentive to small details.

Yeah, if she's betting on him to clear James slovenly doesn't inspire the most confidence.

An observant lady:-)

I always bristle at the term women's intuition. Might be something else.

There's something intimate in that deduction; leads one to imagine Holmes lying abed and watching Watson shave in the morning...

Ha! Previous knowledge of personal grooming habits, perhaps?
