Sherlock Holmes

Re: Sherlock Holmes

[needsaholmes]

Oh. Wow.

[mymindrebels]

Wow?

[needsaholmes]

Sorry, sir. My name is Jamie Watson. Dr. Watson is my great, great, great grandfather. It's an honor to meet you.

[mymindrebels]

Is he? I suppose I shall have to congratulate him the next time that I see him.

[needsaholmes]

I doubt he'll be that surprised but thanks. Your great-etc granddaughter and I work together.

[mymindrebels]

[ Wait what? ]

I beg your pardon?

[needsaholmes]

Yeah, that's probably a surprise for you. You have a daughter much, much later in life.

[mymindrebels]

It damned well is a surprise. I can assure you I have no intention of doing so presently, Watson minor, and I fail to see how my position may alter in the future.

[needsaholmes]

I don't know the details, I just know you have one.

[mymindrebels]

Rest assured that I am much the better for having been spared the details. If, of course, such a-- an event did indeed occur.

[astudyincharlotte]

Why on Earth are you going around telling a man who simply claims to be Sherlock Holmes who we are?

[needsaholmes]

Well... because he looks just like him. Aren't you going to say hi?

[astudyincharlotte]

It's as though I've taught you nothing.

Say that I have accepted this strange predicament we find ourselves in. Say that we accept magic exists here in this little universe. How do we know that is the real Holmes?

[needsaholmes]

By observing him and talking to him to discern whether or not he is who he says he is?

Then we get a DNA sample and compare it to yours.

[astudyincharlotte]

Good.

You could have done all that without telling him who we are.

[thefinalsolution]

Is it really? Have you managed to steal someone's face, glued it on your own? Not very polite, is that, Sherlock? Whatever would Mummy say?

[mymindrebels]

Though that is a rather marvelously grotesque image, this is, in fact, my face. Were you expecting another?

[thefinalsolution]

By all means, let's keep this the new reality. It's all very posh, isn't it, much more symmetrical. Is everything gone topsy-turvy? What's Watson like, now?

[mymindrebels]

Presently? Missing.

Shall I give him your regards since you seem so interested in his welfare, Mr....?

[thefinalsolution]

You can call me Jim.

All my friends do.

[mymindrebels]

And is that what we are, then? How very homely.

[thefinalsolution]

That's one word to describe it. Extremely exciting is another.

[mymindrebels]

[ Begins lighting another cigarette, looking far from excited. ]

Oh, somehow I very much doubt that.

[thefinalsolution]

Are you saying you don't trust an absolute stranger right off the bat? How disappointing, Sherlock.
