lirance 2008-05-12 ch 7,	abuseHumorous, interesting and well-written. I like Clea and your take on Lestrade. The characters as a whole all seem realistic, with their own distinctive personalities and ways of speaking, and I'll admit that I'm looking forward to see what happens in the next chapter.
Kadigan 2008-05-09 ch 7,	abuseI don't envy Bartram when they (finally) catch up to him. Between Lestrade's justifiable fury, Watson's temper, the whole rest of the Yard, and Clea on top of it all -- well, if he makes it out physically unscathed, I have a feeling his sister will give him the chewing-out of his life. Then again, this series is a bit more realistic than that...
smallrose 2008-05-09 ch 7,	abuseAnother great chapter as usual - I really like Watson here (could that just be because he's my favorit character, or is it because you do him so well, or maybe both. Hm, I think it's both.)
KCS 2008-05-09 ch 7,	abuseHeehee, clueless!Lestrade is so cute. MORE SOON!
Kadigan 2008-05-07 ch 6,	abuseI'm a broken record. Human, delightful, hilarious, awesome, et cetera et cetera. I love your work!
smallrose 2008-05-07 ch 6,	abuseI like Watson's description of Baker Street - Maiwand with three meals a day, haha. The thing is, Baker Street doesn't always have regular meals, so, is Watson describing Baker Street? ;)
smallrose 2008-05-07 ch 5,	abuseDoes Lestrade have womenfolk (apart from Clea)?
smallrose 2008-05-07 ch 4,	abuseHooray! Go shorties! Thanks for giving us background on Clea, is there more to come?
KCS 2008-05-07 ch 6,	abuse“I have to admit, it was less of an adjustment to move from Maiwand to Baker Street. Both of them are war zones, one merely serves three meals a day.” ROTFLOL! O gosh, my parents just wanted to know what I was howling about...I can't decide who I like better in this, Lestrade, Bradstreet (such language!!:), or Watson. drools over such a marvelous trio of choices
KCS 2008-05-07 ch 4,	abuseROTFL! Ok, I changed my mind - THIS is the story I'm in love with the most. Colin undoubtedly was the best visual Lestrade, but I believe yours is much better. Oh, well done! After a long few days at work this was a breath of fresh (or is it foggy?) air. Wonderful! You should do a oneshot explaining that pneumonia/bloodloss/Watson-finally-getting-to-be-a-Doctor-to-someone thing - bloody hilarious I'd wager!
Susicar 2008-05-07 ch 2,	abuse"I'll never understand why people attempt to molest rugby players" SIMPLY GENIAL! This scene at Scotland Yard is priceless!
Susicar 2008-05-07 ch 1,	abuseFunny, funny, funy! God Save the Queen of Yarders! Dun, dun, dun Her Highness Aragonite.
bcbdrums 2008-04-29 ch 3,	abusei like these yard-stories of yours. in places, the plot is a bit hard to follow though. of course, that could be because i'm half-asleep while reading, lol. but maybe a thought to clarity for the sake of the average reader who doesn't like to think about what they're reading. and the name lestrade - apparently doyle knew some annoying french fellow by that name. that's the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
Pompey 2008-04-27 ch 3,	abuseAh, I withdraw the line from my previous review about "so much for that contest at Christmas." I take it chapter 2 would chronologically come after 3. Very nice try, Lestrade! (Obviously Watson has had more experience with Hogmanay, and how to get out of being the dark-haired male stranger, than he.) Too bad you could never get Holmes to do it . . . And my dear aragonite, your wealth of obscure references dazzle me! I had no idea Hogmanay was so big in Scotland, or that it had those traditions. Also, nice work with Lestrade's surname. I figured it was French but never took the time to delve further than that.
Pompey 2008-04-27 ch 2,	abuseOh good Lord. I spent the entirity of the chapter empathizing with the put-upon Yarders, laughing outright at the absurdities of the situation (including the word "fittygomash"), and shaking my head in disbelief of the dumbness of men. So much for "getting Watson back" for that Christmas stunt!
