Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Oh, goodness, why is there not a stronger word for "delight"?
Allow me, please, to present the scene of me in the moments after finishing this: yours truly, in an office chair, turned perpendicularly to the computer to allow for the kicking my legs wildly in the air, and, in due course, falling off said chair with a thump, giggling and squeeing all the while. There was jumping and capering even before beginning reading, as new Holmes fic from you is ALWAYS cause for jubilation, but it was as nothing to the afterwards :)
I cannot even begin to pick a favorite bit. Although
"A button-hole bouquet of choice flowers is nowadays very general," I informed him.
Holmes narrowed his eyes. "You've been reading Cassells Household Guide again."
was SHEER JOY, and the bit with Holmes' tie makes my heart do backflips, and this:
I confess that my heart gave a small excited flip at this. "Holmes, you aren't saying you're willing to see Gilbert and Sullivan with me? After all your protestation?"
"I am tonight," Holmes said, "and I suggest you take me up on it while you have the chance."
Holmes may accuse me of over-conventionality, of too-strict adherence to society's petty rules, but I am no fool.
