“What happened about the cricketing tableau?” the Sloth asked.
“Sadly, it had to be abandoned,” the Ocelot replied with a grin.
“Oh, why?”
“Dr Watson explained that the tail-end batsmen are sometimes called ‘rabbits’ because they’re not very good.”
“Yes, because they’re normally bowlers. But that shouldn’t have been a problem.”
“But then he added, ‘And after the rabbits comes the ferret.’”
“Ah!”
“Yes. Mouselet and Aemelia started to laugh, and the Ferret departed in a huff. Which rather put paid to Mr Holmes’ tableau.”
“Quite. And after they’d only just stopped asking him if he was ‘silly mid on’.”
