Ahahahaha! This was delightful :) You captured the tone of the film wonderfully, and such a clever extension of the premise! I loved so much of the humor -- "Look at her as if she is that murky green mixture!"; Mrs. Hudson's masterful non-reaction to the bust jokes; the secret behind the famous VR, my goodness! -- and the way you wove in the pearls and the Forresters. You even added that little note of sweet sentiment at the end, allowing Kincaid to say a proper farewell and to let her know she was regretted. I'm really impressed with how much you managed to bring together in this story. Just lovely all around!
