Russell belongs to Laurie R. King, I am also using her version of Holms. King poached Holms from Sir Author Conan Doyle. She seams to have brought him back to life. Some traits borrowed from Sherlock Hound.
Where Are My Spectacles?
"Dammit Holmes what have you done with my spectacles?"
"Hmm"
"Holms where are they?"
"I am cleaning them, Russell, because you refuse to clean them unless covered in an inch of filth (This from a man who keeps his tobacco in a Persian slipper, one of his revolvers in his tea pot and the post pined to the mantel with the letter opener [not to mention his ammonia perfume.); also Mrs. Hutsen wouldn't let me anywhere near the windows with my new glass cleaning solution that prevents reflection."
" If you didn't refuse not to make your cleaning solutions out of sulfur and ammonia she would quite happily let you clean with them to your harts content. My glasses please."
"They will be tinted blue for the rest of the day but they should not reflect anything from now on if you keep using the solution on them once a week."
After there latest life or death situation...
" Holms you need to patent that solution."
