Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight)
Characters: Dr John H. Watson, Sherlock Holmes
Summary: Holmes's words are comforting, but not for the reasons he intended.
Warnings: (none)
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: August 6th 2012 prompt: Gratuitous and shameless H/C/Schmoop.
‘It’s good to have you finally back in Baker Street, Watson.’
‘Thank you, Holmes. I prefer to recover at home.’
‘This telegram just arrived. You’ll be pleased to hear that John Clay has been sentenced to ten years’ incarceration.’
‘Pleased? Not really… He let himself be captured rather than leaving me to die.’
‘No doubt serving his own purposes.’
‘Perhaps, but I was very ill, and utterly at his mercy.’
‘Anyway, he’s off to Princetown Penitentiary and that’s the end of it!’
‘Is it?’
‘Doctor, you’re chuckling!?’
‘Indeed I am! John Clay likes Princetown… He’s escaped from there twice already!’
