Rating: PG
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight ACD)
Characters: Mr Sherlock Holmes, Surgeon-Major John Watson
Summary: Farewell for now
Warnings: (The feels...)
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 31st 2016 prompt: “Once More, With Feeling”
Beneath an overcast sky an uneven skirl of bagpipes drifted across the Sussex downs.
Sherlock Holmes winced as another foul squeak rent the funerary dirge.
‘I thought young Oxley was improving; what with all the practice,’ said Dr Watson as he approached. ‘...He’s certainly off today.’
‘Harry Oxley was conscripted two months ago. That is his sister.’
Watson did not reply. Holmes turned to examine his friend from top to bottom: the peaked cap, the shined boots, the mended sleeve, the packed valise, the worn expression.
‘I understand why you must go, Watson, but I don’t have to like it.’
