Author's Notes: ...a bed of crocuses in full bloom lay beneath.


221B was knee-deep in nosegays.

Bessie smiled. “The gentlemen are so fond of each other.”

“Actually…” Mrs. Hudson glanced at Dr. Watson riffling furiously through ‘The Language of Flowers’. “They’re arguing. You see… Don’t look at that one!”

She clapped a hand over Bessie’s eyes.

There was a pause.

“Mrs. Hudson…” said Bessie.

“Yes?”

“I… can still smell the message.”

There were times when Mrs Hudson wondered if the slight smell of singeing would be preferable.

There were times when Mrs. Hudson thought changing the locks would be preferable ^__^

Thank you ^__^

This is one we didn't do, isn't it?

Mrs. P: *hands over nosegay*

Frankles: *smiles happily*

*realises what the flowers signify*

*faints*

Hee. Trust those two to carry on a domestic spat via flower-language.

Ha, ha! Just like the telegrams in Reigate Squires, who is going to clean up their 'communication'?! Poor Bessie.

I think Bessie will invite representatives of various worthy causes to come and collect the flowers. She's a bright kid that one ^__^
