“Ah, Watson,” Holmes said, “would that I was a red-headed man.”

“You can’t be serious!”

His eyes twinkled. “Not to be so deceived, no. But to spend one’s days in such pure pursuit of knowledge?…”

“And to receive a handsome sum for it as well,” I pointed out.

“L’argent, c’est rien,” Holmes said, waving his hand, “La connaissance, c’est tout.”

But of course.

And I like your icon.

Thank you! :-) Although I can't take credit for the icon, it's by tabby_stardust.

Héhé, totally Holmes. Though I wonder if he'd skip the solar system charts again.

Maybe Watson should give him an extended edition of some chemical encyclopedia for Christmas... on the other hand, he'd never see his flatmate again. Tricky. ;P

I want to read this fic. Or write it :-)

[snycock.livejournal.com]

Go for it!

[snycock.livejournal.com]

Maybe Watson could do that when he wants to keep Holmes in one place... like at meals or when he's exhausted. A little light night reading, perhaps? ;-)

Thanks for reading and commenting!

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

Agreed, Holmes, agreed.

Glad you liked it! :-)

Aww.. Maybe when he retires, lol. Good job!

[snycock.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Actually, when he retires he'll start with the Bs *rimshot*. :-)

Your quote for Holmes is perfect.

[snycock.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's all about knowledge with him, isn't it? :-)

Tres jolie et tres bien! :)

Merci! (and that's about the limit of my memory of high school French...) ;-)
