Prompt: Sherlock, Sherlock + any (preferably all ;), playing charades
100 words.
"Old Yeller," Sherlock said with a curl of his lip, fingertips placed delicately together.
In mid-attempt at portraying “movie,” John could only mutter “Brilliant!” as Lestrade threw his arms up in defeat.
“Oh Sherlock,” Mrs. Hudson said patiently, like a put-upon school teacher, “Where’s the fun in that?”
“How --?”
“Simple. The slight trembling of your hands and moistness to your eyes – a clear emotional reaction. Your quick glance at the dog portrait for inspiration – obvious. Then the movie hint, leaving the quintessential emotional dog movie – Old Yeller.”
“Brilliant!”
At least, Lestrade thought in exasperation, defeat would come swiftly.
