.oOOo.

I returned home from my rounds to find Mrs Hudson in a row with a Frenchman who introduced himself as Henri the cheesemonger.

The impertinent fellow insisted on coming indoors along with his handcart stacked with assorted cheeses.

He removed his cap and wig and et voilà, there stood Mr Sherlock Holmes!

Apparently, the cheeses were just part of his clever disguise. His case was successfully concluded and these were his spoils.

There was too much for our small household so I gave the surplus to The Irregulars hoping that for once something nourishing would end up in their bellies.

.oOOo.

Ha, ha! Holmes's powers of transformation border on the supernatural at times. It always amuses me when Watson and Mrs. Husdon don't recognize him. ;) That was very kind of Watson to donate the cheese to the Irregulars.

Nice job!

Thanks!
Mr Holmes' disguises are one of my favourite tropes to play with in my stories, and Watson is a man of compassion and would certainly try to help the less fortunate.
