“Bunny Evans?”

Holmes looked away from my glare. “A, er, reputation for…running like a rabbit when cornered.”

I folded my arms. “You could have asked me to join you because you wanted my company, you know. You didn’t have to create a fictional hazard.”

He nodded.

I pursed my lips. “I hear Simpson’s has a dangerous beef roast.”

We laughed.

Aw, Holmes! Wash it down with a perilous Tokay!

Any excuse, eh Holmes?

Oh, for heaven's sake, Holmes ^___^ No wonder Watson had to make nods to other cases - it would appear he had to pad this one out somewhat when writing it up.

That champagne WAS a real Brut, too.

Thought he had to dangle fake danger in front of Watson the way a cat-owner dangles a toy mouse.

"We found the press, caught the suspect in the act, and he cried like a kid when we arrested him. The End." Snore.

Omg! A golden 'stache trophy for you! Pawkiest!

Ha!

Oh, I do like this version:-)

No wonder Watson had to zing this one up a bit.

I'm amused at the thought that Watson had to pretty much rewrite the ending so he wouldn't put Strand readers to sleep.

Soft Evans, warm Evans, little ball of fur. Wait, wrong fandom.
Moving on… Fun take on the nickname. :)

Hee! So do I. How does one spice up such dull cases?

Killer Evans ran away.
(No!)
Bravely ran away, away!
(I didn't!)

To. Boldly go. Where. No. Evans. Has gone. Before.
