Rating: PG
Character(s): Doctor John Watson, Sherlock Holmes
Summary: Holmes ponders two mysteries.
Warnings: Some spoilers for The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, so if you haven't read that, you might not want to read this.
Word Count: 60, times two
Author's Notes: 60 words of my own inspired by one of the canon stories.
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
I couldn't resist writing two 60-word stories this week. Pick and choose whichever one you like best as this week's official entry, if you like.
I had, perhaps, been guilty of theorizing without data when I disdainfully showed Watson the letter. The matter Miss Violet Hunter put before me had many intriguing aspects.
Miss Hunter’s stated past history was another mystery, although not mine to solve. Watson criticizes me for gaps in my knowledge, but even I know that Halifax is in Canada, not America.
Recognition
Rucastle’s stratagem made little sense when looked at logically. How could he have believed that Mr. Fowler would mistake Miss Hunter for Miss Rucastle, even at a distance and only from behind? I am admittedly more observant than most, but I can pick out my Watson from a hundred yards’ distance on a crowded railway platform full of similarly-dressed men.
