The Missing Three Quarter: On an Tea Estate in Terai

Canon Story: The Missing Three-Quarter
Rating: Gen
Summary: On a tea estate in Terai, a letter arrives.
Author's Note: Rasher is my OC name for the canon canine. Implied background Holmes/Trevor.

“Rasher, it’s a letter from your old friend Holmes.”
He scratched the bull terrier behind the ears as he read. Then he laughed aloud.
Rasher whined.
“Sorry ol’ sport, he just says, ‘Blame dearth of knowledge manifested in recent case on your disingenuous rugby lessons.’ At the time, I seem to remember him saying they were very instructive.”
Rasher howled.

Haha, just didn't teach anything about the actual game :)

Yes, the finer points (or any points) of the game were neglected :)

Yes, Trevor covered the forward pass, followed by the tackle, but then he got distracted ^_____^

Lovely to see Rasher and his master again ^_^

Precisely. The exact definition of terms would've been muddled, too. Yeah, I like ol' Rasher.

Hee, hee. Yes, boys at school!

Aw, happy to see that Rasher is having a good, long life!

And such disingenuousness! Would Holmes have paid attention if Victor had attempted to instruct him in non-euphemistic rugby? I think not!

Hee, hee. True. Team sports held no allure, but one-on-one...
