*raises eyebrow* Well, you've come to the right place for prompt assertions.
Do you disagree that loyalty is your discerning trait? You're certainly courageous but Gryffindors tend towards boisterousness. And you're intelligent, but don't gather knowledge for knowledge's sake like the Ravenclaws. And if I've read your memoirs correctly, you haven't a devious bone in your body so Slytherin is right out.
Listen to me. You've got me talking like a Victorian again. Damn, I'm glad I slept through most of that century.
I find it easier on the constitution to receive prompt answers; Holmes is the man with a perverse attraction to suspense.
Certainly I wouldn't disagree that loyalty, among all other characteristics you have listed, is the most important to my mind. But what is so terrible about the Victorian era, may I ask?
*thinks of the communiques with Hell* I won't disagree with you there.
Then a true Hufflepuff you are. No slight intended. I don't know why others persist in thinking that the members of that house are useless.
Oh, don't even get me started. The soot, the filth, the horses, for Adam's sake. I don't think Pollution left London for decades. And you all were so hypocritical. Acting all prudish, doing ridiculous things like covering piano legs because they were too sensual, then turning around and writing the most obscene erotica in millennia. I wonder if Aziraphale has any of that... Maybe I could sneak some into his collection.
I, for one, have found bravery without loyalty to some ideal rather empty, and am honored to be called a true Hufflepuff.
Perhaps London is rather dirty, but varied trips to the countryside have a way of cleansing the system. As for this... erotica, I can't say I've had anything to do with it.
It certainly is. There is a Russian gentlewoman who was just sorted into Ravenclaw who appears to share the same idea.
They've made significant improvements over the last century. Especially in Mayfair and Soho. *smirks ever so slightly*
No, you wouldn't have. See that's the problem. Everything back then was so cut and dried. You all thought only in black and white. If you were the kind of man who could live with another man for years and not think anything untoward then you weren't the kind of man who knew what erotica was.
Firmly placing you in the former category, then. In the modern era it is assumed that any two people living together, regardless of gender, are engaged in an intimate relationship.
Indeed, sir, I am. And I suspect that you will be thought of by some here to have participated in it with your good friend, Mr. Holmes, regardless of its illegality. It is a charge that I have had levelled upon myself and equally baseless.
