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?”

Or failing that, drink quietly!

And, convince him that tea tastes better in the open air...Dartmoor for instance...

Ha! We were thinking along the same lines, but of course you made yours British and I made mine supernaturally gross.

I thought you didn't like tea to begin with...

"Were you raised in a barn, Holmes?"

"In York, actually, which nearly amounts to the same thing according to most Londoners."

Oh, let the man enjoy his rewards! You were on an entirely different floor, it's not like you were in the same room with him.
