Rating: G
Warning/Content: Holmes is investigating a death.

 

“Have you found anything of interest, Holmes?” I asked as I entered the room which had been inhabited by the newly deceased club steward.

“Possibly,” Holmes replied.  “And you?”

“He was believed to give short measures, but nothing could be proved as he waited until the member had had slightly too much to drink before taking advantage of them.  But that would hardly be grounds for murdering him.”

“Indeed not.  These, however, might well be.”  Holmes waved a small packet of letters in the air.

“Blackmail?” I asked.

“Yes.  I suspect someone had his measure and decided to kill him.”

I imagine Watson just staring at Holmes for a beat and then walking out of the room without a word XD
