Billy had been trapped now for three hours.

“I needed a hidden witness to the conversation, you see,” said Holmes.

Mrs. Hudson was extraordinarily calm.

“I understand that, Mr. Holmes. However, could you explain why you thought it was a good idea to hide my page up your chimney?”

“Well…” Holmes frowned. “I don’t think Dr. Watson would have fitted.”



A/N: ...the wind cried and sobbed like a child in the chimney.

On the bright side, Billy did strike up a friendship with the sweep-lad who came into the chimney from the outside.

There's always a silver lining ^^" (^___^)

Good lord. That's a bit dark for you, Frankles. They could've sent a ferret, if one was available.

This is a non-Ferret universe unfortunately ^__^

And Mrs. Hudson will be getting Billy out, even if it means dismantling the wall. Mr. Holmes can expect a somewhat higher rent bill next month ^_^

Not sure you have entirely got the point, Holmes...

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Indeed, indeed ^__^

Once they had finally rescued Billy, the laundry bill Mrs Hudson presented to Holmes seemed rather extortionate, given the number of bottles of gin it included, but Holmes didn't dare argue.

Wise man ^__^

LOL, love it!

D'you know, I was thinking of your Harry when I wrote this ^_^

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

LOL, it seems my Harry is famous for his chimney escapade! I hope it is blocked off sufficiently to stop Reuben from copying him!

A very good point. And it would have mussed Mrs. Hudson's dress.... although I hope the page got something for his trouble.

Hopefully Billy just thought it was a lark and enjoyed helping out Holmes ^^
