Canon Story: The Five Orange Pips
Title: Passing The Time (the serialisation of the Private Journal of Dr Watson)
Author:thesmallhobbit
Rating: G

Since Mary is away visiting an old school friend and staying at her mother’s, I have taken the opportunity to spend a few days with Holmes.  Unfortunately the weather means we are forced to stay indoors, but at least I had the forethought to bring my novel.  Unlike Mary, Holmes is not given to passing the time with idle conversation.

Very prudent of Watson.

Watson still remembers the time Holmes didn't speak for six hours and he only had a copy of The Girl's Own Paper for company. (Some nice fashion tips though.)

Watson, you might not get much of that novel read:-p

It was a sensible move.

Unfortunately the best colour ribbons to wear with your ringlets wasn't of much use to him.

He'll probably have to start again to make sure he didn't confuse the plot with the case.

Quite wise, I think. And suitably nautical for the weather.

Definitely a good move.
