Author's Notes: Our client, Mr. Robert Ferguson, of Ferguson and Muirhead, tea brokers, of Mincing Lane, has made some inquiry from us in a communication of even date concerning vampires.
The slurping noise woke Watson with a start.
He tiptoed downstairs—
And was greeted by a truly revolting sight.
“Holmes!”
Holmes looked up, his lips glistening wet. “It’s just so delicious!”
“I know...”
Watson sighed.
“And you must have your reward. But—”
He winced as Holmes took another slurp.
“—could you at least let Ferguson’s tea cool before drinking it?”
