‘Lord Peter, do you recognise me?’

A smile brightened the invalid’s face. ‘Why, if it isn’t Dr Watson! I would rather we met under better circumstances.’

‘I hear you were caught in a tunnel collapse.’

‘It was nothing. My faithful sergeant dug me out.’ Watson observed Wimsey’s fingers beginning to twitch.

‘Thank goodness for that.’ Wimsey’s fingers were now drumming.

‘Do you remember consulting Sherlock Holmes?’

‘Of course! I was greatly impressed and wanted to be just like him.’

‘Well, let me tell you about the Case of the Golden Hedgehog. It all started…’

Wimsey relaxed and his fingers stilled.

.oOOo.

Supplementary Notes: Have Holmes and/or Watson run into another detective we might know from another book/series/film. Lord Peter Wimsey is a gentleman detective created by Dorothy L. Sayers. Excellent reading.

Good man, Watson.

One trait I like to write Watson with is that he possesses good instincts about people. Where Holmes has his intellect and his observations, Watson has his empathy.
Thanks!

I don't know Wimsey. I'll have to check him out.

I think you will enjoy Wimsey. He is like no others before him and better than the pale imitations after him.

Seconded; check out the short stories :)
