    Light broke through the cloud cover and rain as they left the croft. Poe was the first to react. “Gorgeous. The colors are like Evangeline’s smile.”

    TM spoke next, “Tis a bonny sight.”

    Looking out over the moor, they saw a thrice-arched rainbow, its colors crisp as a midwinter frost. And as if coming through a divine gate, a flock of polled sheep walked under its arch, attended by shepherds in sunshine yellow mackintoshes and dancing dogs.

    “Amazing. Truly remarkable,” Holmes said.

    “Of all God’s creations, the rainbow is among the most wondrous,” said Watson, “but I never expected to hear you marvel at one.”

    “The refraction of light through water droplets is scientifically interesting,” Holmes replied, “and while rare triple arches are not unheard of. But that’s not what I meant. Look there, note the shepherd in the well-worn light-green slouch hat. Oxford man. Theology, if I’m not mistaken. Dropped out in his third year to marry a local girl he met on holiday. A truly unexpected sight on Dartmoor.”

    “We’re done here,” Holmes said to Watson.

    Watson looked pointedly at us. “What about them?”

    “Yeah, what about us?” Raven said.

    “Totally irrelevant. They’re innocent bystanders.”

    “Bystanders, but hardly innocent. Crackky Crak cacacacaw,” Raven cackled at its own joke.

    “I’d like to tag along,” Poe said, speaking up.

    “Just don’t get in the way,” Sherlock said, turning and leaving the croft.

    “If you’re after the #bounty, it goes to the widow,” Watson added.

    “Come, Watson. Time is wasting. They’re time travelers and have no use for English pounds.”

    “Time wasting. Time wasting. TM arrest them for time wasting. Crawky cawcacaw.”

  4. #TimeManager Part 24: Blacking

    #wss366 #TimeTravelAuthors 07/05

    “That’s Sherlock Holmes,” Raven said in a stage whisper.

    “Do tell,” muttered Poe, dryly.

    Raven stretched, smoothing her feathers. “Autograph, please, Mr. Holmes?”

    Watson blinked, his eyes as round as TM’s. Holmes regarded her, faintly amused. “Remarkable. A talking raven. American, by the timbre. Bright, yet prone to absurdity.”

    “The criminal,” Watson prompted, redirecting anxiously.

    “Disguised as a gentleman, officer, constable, or valet; yet unmistakably of inferior stock.”

    “How #can you be sure?”

    “The blacking tin. Smears on the chair betray a clumsy hand. One polishes with precision or not at all. The details, Watson; details always betray the breeding.”

    Note 1: A tin is a can .
    Note 2: As you watch Basil Rathbone on the screen canned ** music is playing #around you.

    “One wee little line more. Fixed,” the Time Keeper reported.

    “Things are still speeding,” I said as the sun skimmed the sky.

    “It’s on a TAPER, lass. Stop too fast. Bam, whiplash.”

    “Paradox me arse, I want to be in two places at once.”

    “Mr. Poe, we have an obstinate one.”

    A thin, sallow-featured man entered the room, a raven on his shoulder.

    “She insists on being two places at once,” the Time Manager said.

    “Young lady, answer this, and I’ll help: ‘Why is a raven like a writing desk?’”

    “You wrote about both.”

    “Right—this way, the Pendulum Room.”
