Ah, Lord St. Simon. A most excellent example of the pitfalls of sentiment, Watson, although not quite in the way one would expect. He was correct, she was a noble woman – how else could she have responded once she knew her husband to be alive? Pity the gentleman allowed his bruised pride to stand in the way of their rapprochement.

Is this your first time? Because this is a great 60! I really like Holmes' perspective here. Good work! BTW, I'm the mod here -- if you need anything, just let me know. Welcome!

Thanks! It's my first time writing something for this comm; I've been lurking here for a while, but this was the first time I actually read the story and had an idea to write about. :-)

And thanks for the welcome - I'm looking forward to doing some more. This is a great idea to get the writing juices flowing.

Wow, I think you captured Holmes's voice really well here - it just seemed to flow extremely naturally. Good for you!
