Rating: G
Author's Notes: "You arranged an affair for a lodger of mine last year," she said — "Mr. Fairdale Hobbs." “...even your modest moustache would have been singed."


“It’s a… ‘charming’… little moustache, Holmes.”

Holmes scowled. “Mrs. Hudson and I were undercover. With insufficient time for completing our toilets.”

Watson’s laughter burst forth.

“Sorry!”

He gestured at their landlady.

“But Mrs. Hudson’s teasing you too! Wearing that ridiculous fake mousta—!”

Watson paused.

“Oh...”

He rose.

“Spend the night at my club?”

“If you would,” said Mrs. Hudson calmly.

The best course of action I feel.

Oh dear. Run, Watson! Before she waxes you!

You should always worry when Mrs. Hudson is being very, very calm ^__^

Or worse - she'll shave HALF his moustache and let the chips fall.

I like that ^___^

Oh, indeed. You can pack rather a lot into just the one syllable.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

You really can ^__^ There's an awful lot of meaning in that 'oh' ^_^

Perhaps two nights, Watson?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Might be safest ^^"
