Rating: PG
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight ACD)
Characters: Dr John H. Watson, MD, late of the Army Medical Department
Summary: Watson keeps getting odd looks from people and can't figure out why
Warning: (none)
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 6th 2018 prompt: Double take
.oOOo.
Captain Watson joined the 66th Berkshires in April 1880 and Surgeon-Major Preston had no regrets in arranging the transfer of his young colleague from the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers. And Watson, for his part, earnestly tried to uphold the high standards of his new regiment. So it was in mild horror that he found that he had overslept. After a frenzy of ablutions and dressing, Watson appeared in the mess much to the amusement of his fellow officers.
‘Look who’s entered puberty,’ Lt Frazer quipped. Laughter erupted.
Watson’s confusion only added to the mirth.
He found the inked-in moustache hours later.
