Summary: Someone must take his place.

The word spread fast in the underground, and the time was set.
The day of Milverton’s funeral a cluster of men gathered in a vile Limehouse dogfighting pit.
“You know the rules, you bastards,” growled Sanderson the grave-robber.
“Aye,” said Jack Dickerson, the bull-buggering priest-killer.
Baby-Eating O’Brian grinned. “Last one living…”
“…Is the new Worst Man in London. Now fight!”

Following Lestrade’s visit this morning when he compared the description of Milverton’s murderer to my own description, he called again this evening. We agreed certain possible events will never be mentioned between us, and then went on to an act which will never be mentioned except between us. It seemed the perfect way to seal our understanding of such matters.

Author's Notes: ...there stood a tall green safe...this green and gold monster, the dragon which held in its maw the reputations of many fair ladies. A CHAS AU, and a follow-up to this BLUE 60.
A strange child kept hidden. The whispers were intriguing enough that Milverton simply had to investigate himself, and—
“Aaaaargh!”
The Countess of Morcar rushed in. “Athelinda! What have I said about reducing blackmailers to ash in the nursery?”
She smiled indulgently at the little dragon.
“Still. It keeps your secret safe until you finally learn how to take human form.”

scfrankles.livejournal.comWelcome once again to my poetry page!
I hope each week you will read Dr. Watson’s delightful narrative and then go on to write a poem related to it in some way. All forms of poetry are permitted, and further down the page there is a selection you might like to consider using over the coming weeks.
Rachel is happily safely back with us now. I must briefly apologise to her—I had been waiting on tenterhooks to see if she would be able to manage to get a poem to me. However, she had in fact given me her submission ahead of time, and I had asked Mr. Holmes to lock it in his drawer for safekeeping.
Whereupon I forgot all about it.
And so, courtesy of my housemaid Rachel and with an updated note, here is this week’s suggested poem to read—a suggestion inspired by the themes and subjects in this week's story. Hopefully you will enjoy the poem, and perhaps it may give you some ideas for a poem of your own or allow you to look at Dr. Watson's story in a new way.
The Maldive Shark
By Herman Melville
Note from Rachel: Home again at last! The little pilot fish in this poem remind me of the odious Milverton. Blackmailers may seem to be the small fry of the criminal classes compared to their more directly violent brethren, but Milverton leads the forces of scandal and prejudice to his chosen victims and then stands back to watch them devoured.
Thank you so much to Rachel. And here is also a new poetry form to try: the rhyming alliterisen. (The linked page is headed ‘Alliterisen’. See the bottom of the page for the ‘Rhyming Alliterisen’.)
( Definition and Example )
But you do not have to use this form. Any form of poetry is welcome this week—and every week! Here are a few suggestions for you:
221B verselet, abecedarian poetry, acrostic poetry, alexandrine, ballad, beeswing, blackout poetry, blitz poem, blues stanza, bref double, Burns stanza, call and response, chastushka, cinquain, circular poetry, clerihew, colour poems, compound word verse, concrete poetry, Cornish verse, curtal sonnet, diamante, doggerel, double dactyl, ekphrasis, elegiac couplet, elegiac stanza, elfje, englyn, epigram, epistle, epitaph, epulaeryu, Etheree, fable, Fib, florette, found poetry, free verse, ghazal, haiku, In Memoriam stanza, Italian sonnet, jueju, kennings poem, lanturne, limerick, line messaging, lyric poetry, mathnawī, micropoetry, mini-monoverse, musette, palindrome poetry, pantoum, Parallelismus Membrorum, poem cycle, quintilla, renga, rhyming alliterisen, riddle, rime couée, Schüttelreim, sedoka, septet, sestina, sonnet, tanka, tercet, terza rima, tongue twister poetry, triangular triplet, triolet, Tyburn, villanelle
Please leave all your poems inspired by Charles Augustus Milverton in the comments on this post. I look forward to seeing them!

Holmes attempts to do business with a blackmailer on behalf of a young noblewoman about to be married. But when the loathsome Charles Augustus Milverton stands firm to his terms, Holmes decides another course of action is called for…
If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.
Each Sunday we will also have our weekly discussion post, where we discuss a topic inspired by the canon story. And there’s Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page too - any poems written about this week’s story can be left as a comment on her post. Rachel is still on her travels and things are up in the air for her (possibly literally), but there will be a new poetry form to try: the rhyming alliterisen. (The linked page is headed ‘Alliterisen’. See the bottom of the page for the ‘Rhyming Alliterisen’.)

Hope to see you on Sunday. But don’t worry if you can’t join us then - we stay open for posting and commenting all week!

So she stayed alone and isolated, ignoring her friends’ pleas.
But she had rid the world of a poisonous creature. This time she was prepared to pay the serpent’s price.

“What is the other?”
