Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
Rating: Gen
Length: 41

Summary: Holmes after Victor Trevor leaves for Terai

The kettle whistle makes me bristle so.

Reminds me tea is here, is near. And oh!

A telegram’s a curt epistle, no?

What bitter dregs for friends!

This tragic act, it ends

With me, and tea, made foul by wistful woe!
