Rating: G
Warning/Content: Poley sees things slightly differently

 

The Ferret arrived back at 221B looking very happy.

“Where’ve you been?” Mouselet asked.

“I’ve been to see Poley.”

“I thought that was over.”

“We remained friends.  I still see her quite often.  You know she has perfect vision.”

“What?” Mouselet was understandably surprised, Poley being a mole.

“Oh no, I wouldn’t ask her for her opinion on which outfits I look best in.  But she’s a great judge of character.  She considers what we’re like inside, not our physical looks.  She says that however handsome a ferret I may be, she wouldn’t like me if I wasn’t kind inside.”

Yes, physical beauty is all very nice, but it's only a bit of surface decoration for the person inside. Poley seems a wise little mole - and very like Holmes in her outlook.

Poley may not have good eyesight, but she does resemble Holmes in her insight. Thank you.
