Title: Discretion Being The Better Part
Form/Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairing: Dr Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Mrs Hudson
Rating: G
Warning/Content: Holmes has been working on his commonplace books

Holmes had spent all morning painstakingly updating his commonplace books, with the result that there was discarded pieces of newsprint all over the floor and a significant amount of glue on the table.

When Mrs Hudson came in to lay the table for lunch, she took one look around and remarked loudly, “Luncheon will be ready in a quarter of an hour.  I trust you will have finished playing with your scrapbook by then.”

Holmes looked at our landlady, who steadfastly glared back.  Not wishing to be present during the confrontation I said, "I'll just go and get a broom."

Hopefully this is a universe in which Watson is allowed access to the broom cupboard :P

Either that or he'll have to ask the maid to get it for him ;)
