rabidsamfanAuthor's Notes: For some reason, this one wants to be the Ronald Howard Holmes and the H. Marion Crawford Watson...
I was reading quietly that morning. The latest edition of Punch, as it happens. I'd quickly learnt that sharing the jokes with Sherlock Holmes was an exercise in futility. Not only did the man lack any appreciation of a properly abysmal pun, but he was in the middle of some sort of chemical investigation, and had only left the deal table to consult arcane tomes and scratch mysterious notes.
Before long, however, my nose informed me that it was time to reach for the firebucket. "Holmes," I inquired calmly, "Is that third beaker on the left meant to be smoking?"
Yup, a WWoes prompt. And July is almost gone!
