Canon Story: The Three Garridebs
Rating: G
Summary: What if it wasn't Holmes's revolver that cracked the 'killer' but maybe something a bit more dometic but just as brutal.

And this is for making that poor gentleman bloody my newly-waxed floor! D’you know how much dusting I do? Bet you don’t because your poor mother never…”

I don't know if you mean canon or these 60s but the answer is yes in both cases! These very exciting (mess-making) lives these gentlemen lead!
