Rating: G
Author's Notes: ”I think our next scene of operations must be the shipping office of the Adelaide-Southampton line…” Holmes's card sent in to the manager ensured instant attention… Er, bit of a nod to the BBC here.


“The power of your reputation!” said Watson. “The manager fell over himself to give you information! And all you had to do was send in your card.”

Holmes grinned. “Actually, it was Hopkins’ card.”

“Gracious.” Watson frowned. “When did you… purloin... it?”

Holmes blushed, and Watson’s eyebrows rose considerably.

“Never mind. As they say, what happens in the broom cupboard...”

Such goings on! Probably best not to ask for further details.

Very, very wise ^^"

Clearly they were reaching for the same broom, for spring cleaning, when the card fell out of Hopkins' pocket.
Yep.
(Pun noted btw)

Absolutely right! ^___^

(And I'm glad that somebody did notice it ^_^)

The pun is subtle, very nice. Aw, Lestrade's badge. Holmes can't resist in any universe.

Thank you ^__^ And I couldn't resist pinching the idea ^__^

Careful, Holmes! Warrant-card shenanigans might have a chilling effect on cupboard shenanigans, and then where will you be?

Locked outside the cupboard, that's where.

Yes, Holmes really shouldn't be taking advantage like that ^^" (^___^)
