"Watson." Holmes stared at the evening paper. "I may have started something."

I read the account. A brute of a wife-beating husband found dead, traces of prussic acid on his lips. Five long scratches like a lion's claws in the wall above his corpse.

And the scrawled words, "My life is not my own. Now it brings justice to others."

Yet another case where Holmes is unfortunately unable to help Lestrade, who isn't all that concerned about finding the perpetrator but has to make it look as if he's doing something.

"Well, look at those five claw marks! Clearly a lion jumped out and forced the poison down his throat."

This is such a perfect, perfect idea ^___^ I love how much thought you've put into The Veiled Lodger's modus operandi ^__^

"Another wife-beater dead that the law can't touch?" Lestrade shakes his head and tsk-tsks. "If only we police weren't useless at collecting evidence. Constable, wipe down the walls and floor around the corpse, there's a good lad."
