Evidently My Dear Watson


"It’s no use," said Mr. Sherlock Holmes. "To solve this case, I must employ the microscope you purchased for me."

I started, but did not protest. Wondering if he had spoilt every childhood birthday, I fetched the box from its hiding place. Re-entering the room, I ventured, "How did you know? I took every pre-caution."

Holmes took possession of the box with a self-satisfied smile. "The man who purchased this hesitated outside the shop for over thirty minutes. As he contemplated, he smoked."

I sighed. "You knew my brand."

"My dear Watson, no one is more familiar with your ash."

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I love! it! It works then; it works now. "Boy, does it ever work now," [info]watergal ejaculated. That is exactly the sort of wordplay I adore, and the ingenuousness of it in the context of the time is ingenious!

Of course you know that, because I spam the lists to death with my blather, but thank you so much for indulging me anyway. I love it. I love you. Not in a creepy stalker way or in an alarm the S.O. way, but in a giddy read this 18 times already way.

*grumbles happily about three updates in as many days. life is good*

So, now that the inertia is there, you are going to keep going, right?

Wow. Hee. I'm glad you loved it. Hell, I'm glad you love me.

Yeah, I hope to keep going. Writing again was actually more fun than scary. That's a good sign.

Yay, puns! :0)

Thanks! I don't know where it came from because I'm usually really bad at puns (punning?).

Very nice. Even though I'm not into Holmes, I do admire and respect both the author and the character. At times it hits me that I know more than I consciously acknowledge, probably because I've always truly listened when you've talked about the great detective.

Nice job. I hope it's what you needed to make the spark flare and grow. I adore wordplay, particularly when it's done well. Well done!!

Guess what I did . . . .

THANK YOU!! It was actually fun to write again. And I do hope I can keep the little spark aflame... at least through the other two drabbles!

So, what did you do? Draw something? Please, tell me that you drew something!

You're welcome! And yes, I started drawing something. I haven't worked on it again, yet, because I haven't decided whether to do color or not and I can't find the rest of my pastels!! But it felt good!!
