Thank you! Sources usually mean Mycroft.

Excellent! Love the last line :)

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The whole thing was built around me getting Watson to say that to Holmes.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LOVELY THIS IS QUERY GREAT BUILD UP TO LAST LINE FULLSTOP.

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH STOP IT WAS ALL AN EXCUSE TO USE THE LAST LINE STOP

[kcscribbler]

Last line = EPIC WIN.

I also love that you didn't add the 'if inconvenient, come all the same'; it shows the true differences in their characters. *snuggles this fic*

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! When I was having word count issues I considered whether to add it but you're right, it doesn't sit with Watson. Anyway, he knows Holmes will come to London.

[goldvermilion87.livejournal.com]

Love the last line. I bet Watson had been waiting YEARS to use it


:-)

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I sort of imagine him with a list of slightly outrageous things Holmes has said to him and keeps trying to work out how to throw them back at him.

IF NOT CONVENIENT COME ANYWAY STOP

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

LoL! Yes, that's lovely!

Telegrams and Holmesian interchanges just seem so right. Right?

And I adore your last line. I want to squeeze it and hug it and call it George!

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]

George?

Also, thank you! I was a little concerned when I saw what you wrote - we must be brain twins, I think.

[sally_maria]

Oh, wonderful. :-)

Yes, the last line is a marvellous touch.

[gayalondiel.livejournal.com]
