Author's Notes: Mods, can I please get a tag for Irene Adler?


"Pardon me, sir," a maid chirps as she bustles around a corner.

Irene is at first startled, then amused, then... curious. The maid may not have recognized Irene, but Irene remembers her. She remembers, especially, the things the maid had muttered about her the last they'd seen each other.

Rather than change into her own clothes, Irene takes a firmer grip on her walking stick and sets out of the theater and into the evening still in costume. A group of men nod politely, then return to their conversation-- no whistles, no slurs.

A lady could get used to this.
