Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight)
Characters: Dr John H. Watson
Summary: An undercover investigation
Warnings: Whump: impending and implied
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 1st 2015 prompt: Tempting Fate. "What's the worst that could happen?"
Magistrate Poundrie knew he was tempting fate as he sentenced another six men to thirty-one days hard labour. Perhaps the pattern in his enforcement of the anti-vagrancy statutes had gone unnoticed, or perhaps society turned a blind eye.
The railway’s need for gravel had found a use for all sorts of outcasts and the Antrim Quarry’s ‘gratuity’ for each additional labourer was most welcome.
Of this current lot, only the discharged soldier caused him concern. Already lamed, he was certain to draw his custodians’ attention, and considering their proclivities for corporal punishment, Poundrie might not get his five shilling’s worth.
