The Acton Body-Snatchers
Oh, so cold!
Brrrrrrrr!
Dear God, why was it so damned cold! Why was I so cold? Why was I absolutely bloody freezing? Why did my bones feel like icy stalagmites and stalactites, converging within the core of my aged being?
I was supposed to be asleep, wasn’t I? How could I be so cold when I was tucked up cosily with my hot water bottle inside my army-supply blanket and Lily Hudson’s freshly bleached cream sheets at 221B Baker Street? Dreaming of my two beautiful wives, Mary and Beatrice, whose warm flesh had succoured me for so many years in the past, before they made their premature departures to those pearly gates?
So cold!
Perhaps my good friend Sherlock Holmes would soon be inviting me to partake of his tobacco from the toe of his Persian slipper?
So cold!
Or might Lily ‘erself be serving me one of ‘er piping ‘ot brea’fas’s of kippahs an’ frie’ onings?
So cold!
Maybe young Jasper Lestrade would be recounting yet another important new case that had stumped Scotland Yard. Like our last one, which had involved the dastardly assassination of a young Australian aborigine, and had seen the pair of us in a bullet riddled battle with the Irish Republican Army inside a gold mine in Avoca, County Wicklow. An investigation that had resulted in the Irish Free State awarding me their very first Medal Of Honour. Holmes and I had even shed a little blood for the honourable cause
