Title: Strongwoman
Form/Wordcount: Drabble
Characters/Pairings: Mrs. Hudson, Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes
Rating: G
Warnings/Content: N/A
Author’s Notes: This isn't for the activity or for any of the prompts. I had an idea for a second 60 for sherlock60, but it kind of grew so...


“I’ve been reading about ladies’ callisthenics, Mrs. Hudson.”

“Have you, Doctor? Would you mind lifting your feet while I sweep there..?”

“It’s terribly fascinating. The benefit to health, to a woman’s bearing...”

“How interesting. I’m just going to scrub that green… stuff… off the table top.”

“And so, I’ve bought you this set of dumb-bells!”

“I suppose he’ll be expecting me to wash his damn petticoats again too— I beg your pardon?”

“Yes! I thought you might need some more exercise!"



“Watson… Where did you get that big lump on your head?”

“I don’t want to talk about it, Holmes.”

Do you think Watson will be able to get his money back, despite the slight dent in one of them?

Worth a try ^_^ (It's lucky for Watson dumb-bells for ladies are a lot lighter than the masculine ones ^^)

Watson, Watson, Watson. You do NOT insinuate that a woman who does Victorian-era housekeeping (stairs, cast-iron appliances, nonstop manual labor) needs to keep fit!

I believe Watson has now learnt that particular lesson ^_^

Yeah, Watson should steer clear of the Victorian version of self-help tips and focus more on being helpful in the lifting of the feet and perhaps persuading Holmes to not put so much green stuff on the table.

I believe the penny dropped when the dumb-bell did ^^"

*lol* Watson was definitely not at his best.

I'm longing to find out what happened to the dumb-bells.

The story of Holmes and Watson going undercover at a ladies' exercise group will have to wait for another time ^_^

Such a bad move, Watson...

Indeed, indeed ^^"
