Canon Story: The Second Stain
Title: Replaced
Author: spacemutineer
Rating: G

We'd only just replaced the rug and furniture; replacing our calm was trickier. Ever the actor, Holmes had no trouble whatsoever, falling instantly into lazy, yawning nonchalance. I buried myself in my notebook, scribbling nonsense and awaiting Lestrade's reaction.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Holmes. I see that you are bored to death with the whole affair."

Ah, success!

Very clever. And Watson used his notebook to hide his giggle.

Hee! (Holmes could have had a lovely career as a stage manager if he hadn't been a detective....)

He's got a number of talents, doesn't he? ;)
