ooh, i'm hooked!

I am tempted to just write the word "cute" and leave it at that to punish you for writing such short stories, but since you took enough time to actually give us one we need to scroll down to finish this time, I will give you a proper review. *smiles condescendingly*
Actually Elki and I were just discussing your talent with words recently and we both agreed that your skill with poetry has given you a real knack for finding the right words and phrases to evoke emotion and associations without having to spell them out. I love the way you paint Mrs Hudson's character just by the variety of adjectives you give her comments and the way she words things. It is so subtle and brilliant.
eg:"The good woman appeared in the doorway in a moment, looking at him suspiciously."
"She melted completely. "Well, alright," she said with a smile. "If she really is an angelic creature like you said,"
"She smiled over her shoulder at him. "Of course I promise," she said. "It will be our little secret. I daresay I'm falling in love with the little angel myself." She disappeared down the stairs with a good-natured chuckle."
Just one little criticism: Did you know that you used the word 'various' twice in the same sentence?
"...putting the various cat supplies in various corners of the room,..."
It may have been deliberate, but it did sound a bit odd.
Got to go to tea now

Cute :) Glad to see you continued your story!

Looking forward to more,
Cat

Cute :) I'd love to see this continued!

Cheers,
Cat

I love the poignant beginning, where you feel the palpable emotion connecting two souls. And then slowly transition to a tongue-in-cheek reference of what's to be with the thought of Watson sneaking in a furball under Holmes' patrician nose. It would be interesting to see how this story would unfold. :)
