‘Is Doctor Watson all right? He took quite a crack to the noggin last week.’

‘How should I know? He seemed well enough but Watson is always very close-lipped about his health.’

‘You didn’t notice anything strange about his behaviour, then?’

‘No stranger than usual. That is until he wandered out into the snowstorm without a word.’

‘That’s him.  On the path up ahead.’

‘We dare not get any closer, Inspector. He may be armed.’

‘Look! He’s dropped his umbrella. He’s just standing there. Is he…?’

‘No. Something’s wrong. Go fetch a coach or cab. I’ll keep him in sight.’

.oOOo.

Ah yes, I like how you tied this in with your previous story :)

Thanks!
(And using a drabble for self-promotion purposes? Muahaha!)

Haha, why not?! ;)

Watson, nooo! (Well, really "Watson, yessss" but I don't want to seem as sadistic as all that) AND this had the added bonus of pointing me in the direction of your other story. Huzzah for drabbles! :D

Not to worry! Watson is just a little confused! Holmes will round him up and take him back to Baker Street for tea and (intense) observation!

just as quillwrecker said, thanks for pointing out in the direction of your other story! I quite like this one, and though I haven't yet read the full rules of this new challenge of july, the daily prompts do seem like they are a good idea. So perfect fic-gift for my birthday month! =)

Happy Birth-month!
I'm glad you liked this and the other story too!
