a/n: a short poem inspired by "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client".
Holmes and companions do not belong to me.
Comeuppance
Baron Adelbert Gruner knew
Those ladies he was wont to woo
Would rarely gaze beyond his charm
At how past sweethearts came to harm.
With velvet voice and velvet eyes,
He'd lure, enchant and mesmerise.
And all went swimmingly until
He bent an heiress to his will.
For Kitty Winter, far from placid,
Found late revenge, not sweet,
But acid.
