Canon Story: His Last Bow
Title: How better?
Author:[livejournal.com profile] godsdaisiechain
Rating: G

Uncle Sherlock raised bees, who had only one female, just as his world had only The Woman—an innocent occupation for an older man in any event. Mycroft Junior laughed quietly to himself from within the recesses of a leather chair that had once belonged to his father.

How brilliantly simple. How better to smuggle intelligence than in beeswax candles?

Did not care for the plan

Nor did it make the good Doctor’s day

Author's Notes: “He says he was junior partner of Brickfall and Amberley, who are manufacturers of artistic materials.” Could “Brickfall” be a pseudonym?


The senior colourman “Brickfall”:
Was Watson thinking of Amberley’s brick wall?
A metaphor for the truth coming out, ain’t it?
Well, it depends how you paint it.

Was won by a horse from Shoscombe Old Place

Author's Notes: "But it was the voice of a man!" I cried.



The actor, Norlett:
Sir Robert’s ruin - he’s helping to stall it.
But a better theatrical choice
Would be someone who could do the voice.

Author's Notes: Mr. Joyce Cummings, the rising barrister who was entrusted with the defence… “I will see [Gibson] in the morning, when steps can be taken for Miss Dunbar's vindication." Pun pinched shamelessly from Diary of a Nobody.


Mr. Joyce Cummings
Will never reach his up-summings.
After the evidence-showing,
Mr. Cummings is going.

Would Doyle have tried to engulf
Your child with a werewolf?

Steve Dixie:
Holmes picks thee
As a smelly fella.
Though traditionally, Mr. Holmes, whoever dealt it is the smeller.

But did he try to supplement his wage?
