Canon Story: Charles Augustus Milverton
Rating: G
Summary: Some sleep well, some poorly, some forevermore.

"You've made me lose a good night's rest, my dear.”
“Do you sleep, Mister Milverton?”
“Most soundly. The servants often joke that it is impossible to wake me.”
“I don’t sleep. Not since you threatened me, not since you made good on your threat, not since you ruined my happiness, but you shall rest now and so shall I, finally.”

That's such a powerful moment in the story - it would work beautifully as an aria in an opera, or a scene from Japanese Noh theater.

Definitely. Even with our two masked chuckleheads hiding in the potted plants.
