That was simply beautiful!
I loved the scene when you describe Holmes sleeping and the child sleeping with him, as if she was his child.

With most sincere compliments,

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I KNEW IT! I KNEW HOLMES WAS GOING TO GIVE THE BRIDE AWAY, I JUST KNEW IT! MWAHAHAHAHA!

I mean, ahem, I had some idea in that direction...

a wonderful story, very well done, and you've made both Holmes and Watson so lovably themselves *sniff*

that is just too cute for words, aw! Holmes is suck a sweetheart :P

and what do you MEAN a LIBERTY HAT?!?! you send him back here right now, you, you...you person you! Boz, are you listening to me, you're being infected by her American-ness! this has to stop, NOW!

"Who do you think you are sir!? You, who cares more for his cursed reputation than for the safety of his own child! You touch him again and by heaven sir, I'll not answer for what follows!"

wow! awsome, I loved that part, amazing story as always your crazy Texan you. by the way, Boz is gone again, but if he comes back wearing anything with the word Disneyland on it, I'm holding you personally responcible!

Oh, wow. Sorry it took me so long to review! I kind of had to go back and read the whole thing again first.

So... it's so cute! You have the perfect ending. I'm so glad you added the "Thirteen Years Later" part. It's adorable. Completely adorable. (Yet in character!)

And reading your author's notes made me feel so special. I did enjoy the bits of history.

On to the poll on your profile!

Yay! It's finally over! Now for the next one... Just kidding:-) I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for finishing it. And thank you for the thank you.!

I think NEVER in my long life i give a more useful and lucky push! My dear friend: you surpassed yourself in this MAGNIFIC end. Is... is... well, i don't have enough language to express my admiration.
Only a last sentece: Thank for sharing your talent and your time with us. Now, you could take a good time (well, perhaps some days) and then... the terribe hordes of reders start to cry for more works, i warn you!! *evil laugh*

Bravissimo, bravo! I really like the way you ended this story— especially the last sentence...Good job!

Aw... Always glad to see a happy ending ^.^

Waw-hay! Wonderful ending to a wonderful story! And *of course* Holmes would give the bride away - who else would be so suitable? And the school... lol, I can see why you chose it.

Mae carnen! Brilliant!! ^_^

That was a great ending

AND? Please update!

Good Story

Aww... That's so sweet. I hope he does keep her. This is such a wonderful story.

AW! So cute.

Okay, you should have had about five reviews from me by now, but I didn't want to stop reading for that long. I read the sequel (which I shall go review on momentarily), so of course I had to read this.

First of all, you say you used REAL historical events? I salute you. I can respect anyone who does any sort of research. And that made the story... well, lacking a better way to put it, all the more realistic! The plot was great.

Your characters (the ones you own, you know) are completely awesome. Hollister is evil, but in a recognizeably politician sort of way. And McKee's more important role this time around made me happy. They were both quite well-developed characters, especially for being secondary and all.

Holmes and Watson were great. They were both in character (a difficult feat, no doubt!) and their interaction managed to show their strong frienship without getting all... dramatically sappy. Usually in fics either there is no significant interaction or the author goes to extreme lengths to show how devoted they are to each other, but it just makes the story fluffy and rather pointless, even if it does fill your drama quota for the next couple of months. You hit a good balance.

This isn't over, is it? You don't have it down as complete. *Crosses fingers.*

Well done!
