A Decision

[upstairsfromreality]

Mrs.Hudson hesitated, thinking of the cost. She did not fear electricity, unlike some of her neighbors. She knew Mr. Holmes, in particular, would appreciate the brighter light for his examinations of various objects. She could think of another benefit as well. Perhaps he wouldn't shoot the walls if he knew there were wires waiting to be shorted out by a bullet hidden within.

O.O Oh gosh, just imagine the damage to the building if a bullet hit a wire! (Especially in Victorian times, when they didn't know how important insulation around wires was!)

A scary thought, yes.

Let’s hope that occurred to Holmes too…

I think Mrs. Hudson or Watson might mention it. Just off hand, of course.
