Author's Notes: Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer were, however, in London, on their way to that long voyage which had been recommended for the restoration of his shattered nerves.


Sir Henry gazed at the walls of his cabin: the first, the second, the third.

“You know, Mortimer. I think… I’ve finally accepted Beryl can never be my wife.”

“Wife!”

Mortimer paled.

“I didn’t tell her I was going away! I completely forgot I was married!”

Sir Henry glanced at the fourth wall.

“Well. I think she’d slipped everybody’s mind.”

This week, the canon story we’re looking at is The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chaps. 13-15 and the chosen topic is Perfume.

( Discussion continues... )

And we're into the final section! This Sunday, 25th September, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chaps. 13-15.

We now know the identity of Sir Charles Baskerville's murderer. But can Holmes get the proof he needs for a conviction? And can he prevent Sir Henry from sharing his uncle's fate..?

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. Mrs. Hudson informs me that the poetry form being revisited this week is the kennings poem. Her housemaid Rachel is also back from her undercover work and so will as usual be suggesting a poem for us to read, to give us added inspiration.

You can choose one activity, or have a go at everything. Or just come along and read the 60s! (And have a chat in the comments.) All options are absolutely fine.

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!
