“Do you think I should ‘cut out the poetry’?” asked Watson.

Mrs. Hudson perused the manuscript. “How any decent woman could have tolerated such a state of things… The house… was slatternly…”

She looked thoughtful.

“It’s fine. And given me some… practical… ideas.”

Watson nodded. “You’re going to repaint?”

Mrs. Hudson was not quite making eye contact. “‘Repaint’… Of course.”

I'm sure there's a gasfitter or two who owes Mrs. Hudson a favour...

Oh, I hope Mrs. Hudson isn't going to change the furnishing...the Holmes and Watson furnishing!

I would suggest they step very carefully for the next few months ...

Oh, I'm sure there is ^__^ Hopefully Mrs. Hudson will only be calling in that favour as a last resort though ^^"

Well, she has been tempted to go for something that is not quite so loud and brash, and that is less likely to give her a splitting headache... ^____^

But I'm sure she'll feel better after a sit-down and a glass of her usual ^__^

Oh, yes, indeed... ^^" (^___^)

[debriswoman]

Yep, absolutely, Watson...she is going to repaint...

I think the penny will drop later on ^__^

[sanguinity]

*wince* Oh, dear.

Well, hopefully Holmes will notice what's up when the gasfitters come by...

I'm sure he'll work it out in time ^^" (^__^)
