Tee hee! I've loved your responses to ALL of these prompts, but my favourite is STILL the nose flute! THanks for taking part B-D

Beautiful! Some very nice dialogue b/t the two. Witty and poignant in parts!

"Holmes added in a mutter, "Scotland Yard will never let me live this down" - true LOL!

Nice to see Sockball again!

An excellent final chapter, with the irregulars coming to the rescue!

And Sockball:-)

Well done, and happy new year to you.

A wonderful end to this collection. I really hope you do it again in 2013.

Happy New Year!

I can imagine Watson's surprise when Holmes did follow through with this plan...

Fits in very well with his character

Nicely done!

Mrs P:-)

I think it ended perfectly well. Holmes and bee keeping certainly seems weird, but it is what he chose to do!

"You are far more sarcastic when you're tired, aren't you?"
"Stunning deduction, Holmes." - LOL! Good for Watson :-)

Great job! Thoroughly enjoyable friendly sarcasm b/t the two!

I think the beehive hairdo hadn't been invented then. I love the mental image of Holmes tucking in his bees at night!

I like excited Holmes waking Watson:-)

What a great present:-)

Mrs P:-)

nice link to your previous fic:-)

And to Watson's past.

Nice to meet an old friend of Watson's. Wouldn't mind hearing more about this lively, blue eyed gentleman that has somehow found his calling from Rugby to caring for orphans :-) Sounds like an intriguing character.
Good job!

People are unpredictable.

Rather sneaky of Watson and Mrs H :-)

Hope Holmes gets a cookie at the end for his participation.

There are certainly worse ways to spend an evening, and some of his Irregulars are orphans too. I'm sure they'd love cookies!
