Her lower lip quivered querulously and she pulled the quilted coverlet close, playing up the picture of pathos. “I ain’t done nothin’ I weren’t asked to,” she protested.

Pitiless, Holmes silenced her with stare. “And paid a pretty penny, perhaps, to perform outside your usual practises.”

She waggled her head at the wardrobe, hinting. “Not nearly enough to do as dastardly a deed as that!”

“Holmes, you can’t conceive that this connubial--”

“Naturally not, Watson. However--” He flung open the wardrobe and fetched out a fellow with fierce eyes and frightful features. “She has fed us our felon!”

I think you automatically win for alliterating "qu"!

[monkeybard]

LOL! Thanks! And yet there were so many "qu" words I wanted to use that just didn't work. ::sad sigh:: ;-)

Very clever. Once more our diligent detective captures the crook.

[monkeybard]

Hee hee! Indubitably! Glad you liked it. :-)

Fantastic alliteration, and YAY for ACD-fic! :-D And double-yay for 'querulously'!

[monkeybard]

So many "qu" words, so little text. ;-)
