         Chapter Seven         Trouble With Watson, The

Chapter Seven

Synopsis:
(with a hat doffed to Pirandello) Ralph, a character in a work of romantic fiction undergoing its final revision, decides it is time to confront its author, Vanessa, to ask for a more prominent place in the story. He is irked that his rival, Fritz, who seems to have all the manly attributes he sees himself lacking, should be a successful suitor to the book's heroine - the faultless, poised, slim, beautiful (etc!) Rebecca. Tactful negotiations with Vanessa are therefore needed to try to secure an improved storyline the characters increasingly assume a life of their own, as if Vanessa has lost control, and at the end, Ralph's wish appears to have been met. But is the price he was willing to pay too much?

Trouble With Watson, The

Synopsis:
(with a cheery wave to Conan Doyle) Sherlock Holmes is oblivious to the fact that Dr Watson is an attractive woman! Together, they reminisce about several of their cases, their memories differing in regard to their separate roles. then Watson resolves that Holmes must at last see and accept her for who she really is. a battle ensues in which Holmes's denial of the reality of love (and perhaps his fear of its obligations) struggles against its forces on him. Can Watson, with Mrs Hudson's mediations, break through Holmes's defensive ploys and obsessions and demonstrate her love for him? at the end she fails, but in so doing Holmes also pays a price, one which (paradoxically) reveals his own, truly romantic, nature.
