Ficlet for Laurose8

Dear [livejournal.com profile] laurose8 here is some Basil of Baker Street and Danger Mouse for you:


“It’s very good of you to put me up for a few days,” Danger Mouse said.

“Not at all, old boy, glad to be of service,” Basil replied. “I’m afraid you’ll have to sleep on the sofa.”

“Quite, quite. I do understand.”

“But what brings you to our city?”

“The Baron has intentions of stealing Her Majesty’s jewels and I am here to thwart him.”

“Any help I and Dawson can give you, just let us know.”

At that moment Dawson came in, followed by a sorry looking hamster.

“Penfold!” exclaimed Danger Mouse. “What happened to you?”

“Sorry Chief, I managed to get lost.”

“Never mind,” Dawson said. “All’s well that end’s well. Let’s stoke the fire up and we’ll have some crumpets for tea.”

Mouselet put the comic down. It was fun to read about Basil and Danger Mouse, but it was not nearly as entertaining as her own life at 221B Baker Street.
