Anyone bring marshmallows?


Baker Street
June 24, 1884


‘Inspector Gregson, to what do I owe the honour?’

‘It’s not you I seek, Mr Holmes. Where is Dr Watson?’

‘At his club, I presume. What do you want with him?’

‘There’s been a fire at the Barrington workhouse. It’s arson without a doubt.’

‘And you suspect Dr Watson!?’

‘Witnesses claim that he threatened the shop foreman!’

‘Of course he did! The conditions he found there were appalling. He registered a formal complaint. An official inquest is already scheduled. Were there any casualties?’

‘Yes. Twenty-one unfortunate women and children were trapped inside.’

‘Really?  Innocent victims, and you still suspect Watson?’

.oOOo.

Author's Notes:  If you want to read a story where I have dropped a burning building on Dr Watson, please read this story: Playing With Fire. It features art by the awesome  [info]quillwrecker, and for that alone is worth a look!
