Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
Rating: Gen.
Notes: Mrs. Turner is touched by Mrs. Hudson's Christmas gift. Inspired by this photo.


Long after the festive season was over, Mrs. Turner kept the Christmas ornament by her bedside.

“What was your happiest moment?” asked Mrs. Hudson.

Mrs. Turner answered at once. “When Ewe-nicorn and I won the sheep race at the Aberystwyth fair.”

Mrs. Hudson looked surprised. “You raced a sheep?”

“I rode it. I was five.” Mrs. Turner grinned proudly. “We flew like the wind!”

Later that Christmas, Mrs. Turner howled when Mrs. Hudson presented her with her gift, the little knitted sheep. Attached to the sheep was a ribbon and written on the ribbon were the words ‘like the wind!’
