Canon Story: The Second Stain
Title: A Hairy Situation
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: “...Their most trivial action may mean volumes, or their most extraordinary conduct may depend upon a hairpin or a curling-tongs. Good morning, Watson.” “You are off?”


“Oh, the way you shot up the stairs to warn us!”

Mrs. Hudson regarded Holmes steadily. “I’d only put the curling-tongs down for a moment, sir. To let in your client.”

Holmes laughed. “It’s so amusing though. You starting a fire for once!”

“Holmes…” Watson was backing slowly towards the door. “That vein in Mrs. Hudson’s temple is throbbing again…”

I can see the curling-tongs being aimed at Holmes head if he's not very careful.

He should be grateful they've cooled down by now ^^"

Holmes is not always the most tactful of men ^^"

Soot on carpet...how to remove...
Sprinkle salt on the affected area, leave for a short time, brush lightly into a dust pan, then brush well with a clean dry brush.

Mrs. P., you are a gem. I shall try that at once, thank you.
