Thank you. :) Slightly different than my original one. :)

I kind of like the indefinite ending. Lets me imagine what I like with it. And I thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Hudson chewing out Holmes!

Well done!

Yes, I couldn't come up with a definite ending so the ambiguity had to do. :D Please imagine all you want. *pokes* And then write something about it. :)

The chew out was necessary. I was looking over my first draft and couldn't figure out why it didn't work. Then I realized Mrs. Hudson was too nice to Holmes after he got home. XD

She was pretty vicious, wasn't she? But Holmes needed a kick in the rear and she was not in the mood to deal with silliness.

You remain my hero for writing excellently strong characters. *bows to* XD As I've said before, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Watson.

:D Really? Your favorite line this year? *squee*

:) So glad you liked it.

I did!
I think in your vernacular...it reeked of awesomeness with nifty sauce topping? Whatevertheheck that means.

glad you're still liking the Watson...can't seem to write him any other way!

thanks for writing.

Bart
