“You wished to see me?” Pompey wagged his tail, eager.

“Yeh.” The lurcher-spaniel stubbed out his cigar-end. “There’s only one nose as works for Mr. Holmes in this empire, sunshine, and yer lookin’ at ‘im. ”

The beagle-foxhound drooped. “But my orders!”

“Next time act like ye got rabies if you got to. But you don’t work for Holmes again.”

Poor Pompey. Although really he was on his own patch. Different smells in the country, mate.

That don't mean spit in a union shop, mate. You don't. work. another. bloke's. job.

Ha! Like a union! Remember Jimmy Hoffa.

Be an awful shame if they was to find Pompey in a building's foundation concrete, that's all I'm saying.

“Yeh.” The lurcher-spaniel stubbed out his cigar-end. ^_____^

Toby! Bad boy! ^__^ I must admit, on the contrary, I rather like the idea of Holmes having a dog network - everywhere he goes there's a hound ready and waiting to assist at a moment's notice.

A canine network of Irregulars is a smart idea, all right.

That'll learn him.
Poor Pompey, though.

Yeah, poor guy was only doing what a dog loves best - work for which he was bred, for humans.

And we discover the real truth behind all these dogs dropping dead around Holmes...

Oh, a murder mystery literally right under Sherlock Holmes' nose - and he's been petting the murderer all along!

Sounds like a case for Basil!
