Call Out the Ladies

[rabidsamfan]

To my dismay, Holmes began to shrug out of the jacket which he wore over his nightshirt. "If the ladies would be so kind as to retire to the hall temporarily?" he said, looking to Mary.

She nodded, accepting calmly what was already making me shake with a mixture of apprehension and comprehension. "We'll return when you are decent," she said and stood to go, drawing the other women in the courtroom to their feet by the sheer force of her personality.

"Go with her," I hissed at the nearest Irregular. "All of you boys, go too. Keep her safe."

I love Mary. Exactly the woman he needs and deserves. *smiles happily* And I can't wait to see what Holmes is about to reveal!

I love Mary. She sees what needs to be done and does it. She really would have been an excellent helper in HOlmes and Watson's cases.

Yes, keep Mary safe.

Oh, Holmes!
