YAY! YOU'VE FINISHED!

I Snorfled (this is the exact word for what I did) multiple times while reading. My favorite individual line, I believe was "The detective was perked with alarm, hair askew; like a very skinny disgruntled owl." It evoked a mental image that was somewehre between Holmes, Errol and Pidwigeon.

:-P

I love the turn of phrase in this, and I love the characterization, and I love poor ol' simple Bert.... I've just named the whole thing now, and I don't care.

Cuz this is the best thing in the world! :D *pats you heartily on the back* And as such, only hyperbole can do it justice

I love what you have done with the intruder premise, and I always admire your handling of details. This is a prime example:

"The detective smirked, causing his pipe to curl upwards in the corner of his mouth"

You capture such moments perfectly, and your story is wonderful. Stupid dimwits!
Well done!

“Only the two most dimwitted scoundrels in Christendom would try to burgle the apartments of Sherlock Holmes." Truer words were never spoken. What a great idea for a story! :)
