Thank you so much, I'm very happy you enjoyed this one! I had a hard time writing it, actually, I felt very out of practice. But my goal was primarily to be fun and secondarily to be sweet, so I'm very glad that both of those moods came through!

It's funny, I resisted seeing the Ritchie movies for quite some time because the trailers convinced me they had no respect for the source material. But when I actually watched them I was charmed by the elements they seemed to get right -- especially the Holmes-Watson friendship. They turned out to be a nice surprise for me, so it was fun trying my hand at writing this verse for the first time. I'm tickled that you liked Stamford, I have a soft spot for him, too! And yes, Watson was, as usual, a bit overhasty in setting Holmes's limits. He remains an insightful and compassionate man in any verse. Although his psychology of disguises...needs work.

Thank you again, I always treasure your comments.
