h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ali Baba and 40 angry thieves with swords were rushing toward Paulh and Aladdin and Princess Jasmin in a cave filled with gold and jewels. "What should we do?" Paulh whispered to the Cloak of Magic Realism.

"Turn them into mushrooms," the cloak said.

"Do I have the power to do that?" Paulh responded.

"Yes. Just say 'You are mushroom.'"

Paulh did that and found himself in a cave with gold and jewels and 43 mushrooms. "Oops! I didn'tmean to turn Aladdin and the princess into mushrooms too," Paulh said apologetically.

"Sheherezade will turn them back into people tonight," the cloak explained.

"Can you carry me and all this treasure?" Paulh wondered.

"There isn't time. You're already late for an appointment at 110 Baker Street. It's right through that door in the wall."

Sure enough, the door led to Sherlock Holmes's apartment. Holmes, Watson, and Mrs. Hudson were waiting as Paulh entered. Mrs. Hudson's eyes lit up when she saw him. She threw her arms around him and kissed him passionately, as he was her long lost husband....

Mrs Hudson!

wonders if this is going to be 'hug then slap' situation

as in thank god you are found followed by where the hell have you been

or if she thinks you are her husband at all

in which I say again but in slightly more shrill tone 'Mrs Hudson'!

We'll all have to wait until tomorrow to find out what's really up Mrs. Hudson's sleeve. She's the one person who isn't allowed to get murdered, as then Sherlock Holmes might have to look for another apartment, expecially if it turns out that the house belongs to professor Moriarty.

What I meant was that Mrs. Hudson's heirs might sell the house to Moriarty.

There will be a tiny door in the wall. Paulh might kneel down and look through it see a beautiful garden.....

really? sounds a bit to me

looks tempted to eat a mushroom but in the circumstances restrains herself...

[Amy P]

You have not seen the last of those mushrooms.

those shrooms, not stalking me are they?

just asking to be put in an omlette with spices

It isn't you that they're stalking. But I'm giving away too much already.
