Sherlock Holmes Behind the Scenes, pt 18 (Patreon)

And that's a wrap, folks! Hope you enjoyed it- both versions, really.

I'd like to thank Kathy Garrison-Kellogg of the hyena-centric webcomic  Carry On for writing this for us. I went off the rails a bit with my version, but I think it came out well.

Let us know what you think! We'd both like to try this again sometime- maybe next time we can make it Roger's dream. :)

Thanks for reading!

Doc.

Dialogue:

(Watson returns dressed in his regular outfit. Holmes is relaxing in the wicker chair, smoking his pipe, his eyes closed.)

Watson: Congratulations, Holmes, on finally capturing Professor Moriarty...and dong it with one paw tied behind your back, as it were!

Watson: It was an amazing bit of complex subterfuge on your part--a real tour-de-force. You overlooked nothing--(pause)--but what about poor Professor Partington?

(Holmes doesn't answer. The smoke from his pipe turns into an intermittent trickle.)

Watson: (cocking his head) Holmes?

(Holmes snores softly. Watson smiles. Then he puts Holmes' pipe aside and drapes a blanket over his sleeping friend.)

Scene change:

(Doc has dozed off over his novel. Cara comes in and gently shakes his arm)

Cara: Come to bed, Dear. The power's still out.

(She carries the kerosene lamp in one had and guides a sleepy Doc up the stairs with the other.)

Cara: Why you read those silly stories is a mystery to me...
