Flabbergasted: To cause to be overcome with astonishment; astound.
Lestrade walked into the sitting room of 221B Backer Street with Hopkins. When the door was opened, Lestrade was not surprised to see Holmes and Watson to be arguing. But what they were arguing about was amazing.
"Watson, I can't have it in the house any more. I mean, I know you like it and all, but that spider is starting to seriously mess up my work." Sherlock said in an exhausted tone as Watson threw him a defeated sort of look.
"Spider?" Hopkins asked them as he sat down at the table, "What spid-, OH MY GOSH! WHAT IS THAT THING?" He yelled as he jumped put out his chair to reveal that he had almost sat on the thing in question.
"That," Watson said in a humored tone, "is Hubert."
Hopkins looked Flabbergasted. "It has a name?"
"Yes, but that's not the problem here." Lestrade said with a small smile. "It seems no one wants the spider and Watson is trying to find a home for it."
For a moment, no one talked. The silence was only broken by the dog growling at the spider. Then Holmes turned to Hopkins and said, "So, do you want him?"
I feel a little better. :) Thanks for giving me something to work on and thank you guys for cheering me up.
