It's Tom as was 'Wiggins' when we was out hunting for the boat what Doctor Watson wrote about in his first book, and it's me as is 'Wiggins' in the second one, seeing as I was only a tyke then and Tom went and got hisself apprenticed to a farrier betweentimes. Good money in horseshoes, and good luck too, he says, and it's two years past time I stopped standing foolish outside old lady Hudson's house and started in to looking for a job of work.

But me I can't think of no job better than working for Mr. Holmes.

Wiggins! Yay!

To this day I can think of only one adaptation that made wonderful use of that lad and the Irregulars: WITHOUT A CLUE. And how can you not love a Sherlock Holmes film in which Mrs. Hudson and Wiggins are both in on the big heroic denouement?

I do love Wiggins. And the Mrs. Hudson of the Russian Sherlock Holmes is pure delight.

I'm laughing, but I'm also thinking about revising.

But Sam comes so naturally to me!

As if I didn't know that. Is he still sitting in that water-filled bathtub in Minas Tirith?

*headdesk* Okay, okay... *goes to shelf to look for Shaw* A little dose of Eliza Doolittle might get this closer to the bells of London.

It's not necessarily a bad thing. Sort of not-completely-educated/country-ish dialect and loyalty to his employer.

Woohoo! A Holmes Icon!

I love the nooks and crannies of fiction, and the minor characters are usually fun.
