I am sitting at my kitchen table howling with laughter and clapping my hands in delight. THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT!! You write with such a fantasticlly light touch that even the introduction of a supernatural element and all the hints (the telegram, the umbrella) didn't entirely clue me in to the identity of the governess, but the moment her name was spoken, my jaw dropped and aforementioned howling began. Oh Mystery Author, either you have stumbled upon an extraordinary coincidence or you have particular knowledge of one of my more successful cosplays, which makes this particular crossover all the sweeter for me. And I think we both recall what the canon has to say about coincidences

Thank you for this lovely crossover! Who better to have been Mycroft and Sherlock's governess than Mary Poppins? It would explain a lot! :-)

This is absolutely delightful! I wondered if this was Mary Poppins from the moment her umbrella was mentioned. I smiled all the way through this.

Oh my goodness, Mary Poppins was the Holmes' governess. Of course she was! What a wonderful and fitting crossover. Nicely done!

Such a wonderful atmosphere, a peculiar case with a lovely solution, and Mary Poppins on top. An absolutely adorable story! Thanks for sharing! I loved it.
