Echoing Small Hobbit - my favourite was the one with the sugared violets too ^___^ But they're all wonderful.
Some other favourite bits:
...ignoring my reproving ‘for God’s sake, man, we’re at a funeral!’ glance.
...as I placed my hand over my heart, imagining its beat thudding in the rapid, a-guinea-more-for-all-due-haste-sir rhythm of the hansom cab wheels over stones...
"...pressed narcissus blossoms, which, of course, yes, Watson, I must acknowledge, are quite appropriate for the bluffer and bluffed.”
...my alarm dissolved into amusement when Toby licked the ink from his forearm.
