Disclaimer: I should think that it is perfectly obvious that I do not actually own Sherlock Holmes. I only own the plots of my writing—and my thesaurus, of course.

Debts

'Pay up.'

'I beg your pardon?'

'Pay up."

'What on earth do you mean?'

'Watson, I have paid off your gambling debts three times in two months. Rather hefty debts, I might add. It is about time you repaid me.'

'But-but-but, Holmes, I haven't any money!'

'I fail to see your point.'

'Holmes, it is the slackest time of the year for my practice. I haven't any money!'

'Hmm...What else can you pay me in?'

'Um...'

'I know!'

'Wha-Mmph!'

...

'Holmes-(kiss)-what-(kiss)-are-(kiss)-you-(kiss)-doing?'

'What does it look like, old boy?'

'Erm...What, exactly, brought this on?'

'I was simply collecting my payment, my dear Watson.'
